In fink's bootstrapping code, there are warnings: Fink is currently not supported on x86 Darwin. Various parts of Fink hardcode 'powerpc' and assume to run on a PowerPC based operating system. Use Fink on this system at your own risk! Although depending on your platform you may only see a more generic "this platform unsupported" message (perhaps you could let us know what 'uname -a' says, so we can at least fix the warning:). It appears the platform is correctly auto-detected and written into the .deb but the unpackaging code has a hard-coded powerpc string. No idea why only some packages are being affected for you. Is there a pattern, or is this the only one? What versions of the dpkg, debianutils, and fink (not Fink) packages are you using? dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
