Dear Fink Experts,
after quite sometime I wanted to update my fink installation.
I run fink selfupdate-cvs which died with the following message

Failed: can't install package fink-0.17.1-1
A subequent fink -v gives also the error message '... concatenation ...'
as above.
Any idea what went wrong ? I scrolled through the fink documentation but could find no hint what to do.
Thanks for help in advance,
Roman
What OS version are you running? You should be able to get 0.18.3-1 for
10.2 from the binary distribution.
Dear Alexander and Jonas,
thanks for your quick response. I am still running MacOSX 10.2.8 (sorry forgot
to add that in my mail). So maybe I have to put 10.2 in the corresponding line
given in Jonas' mail,
i.e.: Distribution: 10.3 --> 10.2
After running fink selfupdate-cvs yesterday I apparently arrived at
fink-0.17.1-1. This comes maybe from the fact that in my fink.conf I have only
Trees: unstable/crypto unstable/main.
For completeness, this is how my fink.conf currently looks (maybe it's outdated):
# Fink configuration, initially created by bootstrap.pl Basepath: /sw RootMethod: sudo Trees: unstable/crypto unstable/main Mirror-ctan: ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/ Mirror-gimp: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub Mirror-gnome: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/ Mirror-gnu: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu MirrorContinent: eur MirrorCountry: eur-de ProxyPassiveFTP: true Verbose: 1 SelfUpdateNoCVS: true Mirror-cpan: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/ Mirror-debian: ftp.debian.org Mirror-kde: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/ Mirror-master: http://distfiles.opendarwin.org/ Mirror-sourceforge: http://west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ MirrorOrder: MasterFirst SelfUpdateMethod: cvs
Thanks again for help.
Cheers,
Roman
No, the problem is that you are set at Distribution: 10.2 which is no longer supported. If you set it for Distribution: 10.2-gcc3.3 you can update to 0.18.3--it's in the binary distribution so it should available regardless of the Trees: setting.
