Thanks...tried both:
a) fixed the web proxy entry to have http// in front (and
the ProxyFTP for good measure). Still get the same "3128:80
(0.0.12.56)" error for why it can't connect. This used to
work on this machine, before the last big fink update...
b) commented out the bindist lines in sources.list. This
worked, once I did another selfupdate to sort out its lists
of what is available.
But it is a rather unstable solution as you conjecture. If
fink updates, and/or fink-mirrors or fink-configure ever run
without me being there to avoid the defaults kicking in,
they'll undo all my changes. It sure would be nice to sort
out the web-proxy problem. Or make the changes more stable.
I don't mind that it can't download from the bindist when
quince already downloaded the deb anyway, just so long as it
can see the deb is available on quince.
At least it gets me past the immediate "can't update"
problem for now, many thanks!
