While updating seemed to work OK, the number of packages actually decreased and a number of other operations stopped working. Fixing the copy problems solved these issues.
Maybe check the fidelity of your copied sw?
Cheers,

Dear All,
1. I copied the /sw tree from a fully up-to-date machine at work to a new laptop, then installed a new copy of FinkCommander on the laptop.
All configurations are identical (rsync, trees used, config files, etc).
2. While fink selfupdate and fink update-all complete with no difficulty [either from the fink command-line or using FinkCommander] in fact on the new laptop they *fail to flag or update* new packages, with respect to running the same commands on the original machine from which I made the copy.
Everything else is working fine.
What have I done wrong? (I didn't notice anything from an FAQ inspection.)
Thanks!!

Do the versions show up as updated in "fink list" but not Fink Commander?
