You will have to start from scratch. Your fink installation was built on 10.5/32bit. On 10.7, fink is 64bit, which is incompatible from the very beginning, and there is no way to to upgrade. You can try to get a list of packages you had installed, for example by storing the output of `ls /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list` in a file somewhere. Then after bootstrapping a new Fink on 10.7, you can try to install these packages one by one. But they won't all exist for 10.7 yet. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.
