0) If your Fink installation is 32 bit, trying to upgrade is an _absolute_ nonstarter. We're only doing 64-bit on Lion. 1) You're still on the "10.4" distribution, rather than the 10.7 distribution, and so you'll see packages that aren't available. 2) If you decide to do a clean Fink install, see if you can capture a list of your installed packages via: dpkg --get-selections | cut -f1 > fink_packages.txt If that doesn't work for some reason, try fink --exclude-trees=virtual list -it | grep -v " p " | cut -f2 And if that doesn't work there are ways to get the information manually. 3) If you decide to try to fight through upgrading in place you'll need at least to use "fink reinstall fink" to point you at the 10.7 distribution. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7wlQgACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ8A3wCfRpsI35aNm6CXl0sOps+kXUS0 /F4AoKCAnNHnR4dD3M7GLnv3q0kDh1aG =plGE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
