Hi Martin,
Below is the listing you asked for. When I saw the 1000:1000 on
TIMESTAMP.tmp, I thought ah ha, that must be it. So I chowned it to
root:admin. Fink selfupdate still failed exactly the same way with
"unknown" in the rsync command. Looking back at TIMESTAMP.tmp now
showed root:55002. There is an "unknown" user in the local netinfo
database with the uid:gid of 99:99. Is there an easy way to capture
the installed packages in the current fink tree and then use the info
to batch reinstall the same packages in a fresh 10.4 tree? If I don't
have to reinstall each package manually, might it be just easier to
just start with a fresh sw installation?
Thanks, Phil
