It's only a warning, anyway. This doesn't actually affect anything in your Fink setup. Don't mistake these messages with actual errors in the build process. Once you get to "Downloading the indexes of available packages in the binary distribution." this means that fink is done building everything, and is registering those packages which _were_ successfully built for use with the binary tools. Any errors building or installing a particular package are before that in your output. > The other problem is that perl586 fails to build.

Fink is supposed to give you the same results regardless of when/how you install a particular version of a package. If you're referring to installing a package by itself vs. part of a chain, then it's the expected behavior to get identical behavior, including identical failures. If "direct" mean's you're _not_ using Fink to update packages, then we can't help you. > >> Professor Simone Hochgreb >> University of Cambridge >> email: [email protected] >> phone: +(44)(0)1223 764098 >> mob: +(44)(0)7736 491192 > > > Cheers, > > -- > monipol > http://finkers.wordpress.com > > Submitting a Fink bug report?
