Hi Robert,
Thanks. I checked my /sw/etc/fink.conf file. It already had MirrorOrder:
set to MasterFirst, so I didn't run "fink configure"
I proceeded with "fink selfupdate-cvs". It seems to have been ok, since I
got the message
"Your Fink installation was successfully set up for direct CVS updating. The
> directory "/sw/fink.old" contains your old package description tree. Its

but, I also keep getting the err/warning

I checked again fink.conf and the rsync mirrors are still listed.
Should I remove the rsync mirrors manually?
or
run "fink configure" and set up the mirrors again?
Best and thanks again,
Eduardo
