I'm still struggling here...the faq says rerun "inject.pl" to fix things, but my copy of inject.pl is too old -- dates from 2002 and first tests for the existence of /sw/fink/10.2, which I long since removed! I tried to get a newer copy of inject.pl by downloading the latest fink install, but it is too deeply buried inside the package contents to be extracted (by the non-techie) without installing the whole thing. My primary concern here is not to lose the set of packages I currently have installed, and to keep all the still useful .debs -- I can't afford the compiling time to redo everything from source (though of course I will recompile anything that needs it). What is the best way forward from here*? * "here" is the result of upgrading OSX from 10.2.8 to 10.3 with an up-to-date unstable fink on 10.2-gcc3.3; editing fink.conf to point to 10.3, but failing to fix /sw/fink/dists to point to 10.3 for a while, then fixing it by hand, then running self-update, which updated fink correctly, but half the useful debs are still in the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree so I can't uninstall/reinstall to swap between conflicting packages without recompiling them. fink --version: Package manager version: 0.21.1 Distribution version: 0.7.0.cvs I don't mind installing a new fink from scratch so long as I can harvest and reuse the .debs thanks! -- Viv ------------------------------------------------ Dr Viv Kendon [EMAIL PROTECTED] QOLS tel: 020 7594 7746 Blackett Laboratory Imperial College London ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
