[Fink-users] emacs (general?) problem

Ersatz Sophist Wed, 24 Nov 2004 08:07:44 -0800

Well, in trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my fink distribution and why I can't install emacs, I managed to get to realize that emacsen-common was perhaps the problem. The error message suggested that I use "apt-get update" to restore the files that are missing, and this is the result I get from this command:

The fact that /sw/var/lib/apt/lists/_sw_fink_dists_unstable_crypto_binary-darwin- powerpc_Packages is missing is what fink reports as the reason why emacsen-common cannot be installed.

How seriously bad is my situation, and can it be remedied?

Thank you very much.
