I only saw this on 10.5--10.6 and 10.7 seemed OK, so it definitely seems related to the system's Perl version. fink-0.33.3.2 is a quick bugfix which incorporates Daniel's changes, and it should be available shortly via selfupdate. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
