I signed up for this list intending to ask for help, but a few minutes later I figured it out. Here it is:
If someone tries to run fink selfupdate but gets this... "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/SelfUpdate.pm line ***" (where *** may vary, I got stuck at line 661) ...the problem may be that their /sw directory tree is owned by the user rather than root. The error stopped after I did sudo chown -R root:admin /sw -F. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
