1) Since some time, I have the following behavior: the interactive prompts are not displayed when they should, i.e., I have to answer the question before seeing it, e.g.: % sudo fink update-all Password: The following 2 packages will be installed or updated: libtool14 libtool14-shlibs curl -f -L -O ftp://ftp.cs.univ-paris8.fr/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-1.5.4.tar.gz curl: (19) libtool-1.5.4.tar.gz: No such file or directory ### execution of curl failed, exit code 19 Downloading the file "libtool-1.5.4.tar.gz" failed. (1) Give up (2) Retry the same mirror (3) Retry another mirror from your country (4) Retry another mirror from your continent (5) Retry another mirror 5 How do you want to proceed? [3] curl -f -L -O ftp://ftp.physics.auth.gr/pub/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.4.tar.gz 5 was typed without seeing the question "How do you want to proceed? [3]". Am I alone to see it? If yes, what should I do? If no, there is probably something to fix. 2) In some fink versions, in the above situation, there was the possibility to do the download from the master server, now it is necessary to cycle through the mirrors until the file is found (for the above example I had to cycle through 15 mirrors). The penalty to go to the master server is in general that the download is rather slow, but at least once it's started you don't have to keep answering questions. Could the previous behavior be restored?
