Alexander, Following your instructions I successfully run "fink selfupdate" and "fink update-all". But I could not update/install vncviewer, which I used to monitor my Linux computers remotely. May I ask you for your advice about this?

You're going to need to capture a list of your installed packages, e.g. via grep "install ok installed" /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status -B1 | grep Package | cut -d: -f2 > finkpkgs.txt , remove /sw (I recommend that you keep the contents of /sw/src around to save on downloading time, though), reinstall fink from the fink-0.34.2 source tarball, and then put use e.g. cat finkpkgs.txt | xargs fink install to install what you had, provided that all of the packages are available on 10.5. (if you put the tarballs from your old Fink back into /sw/src this should speed things up a little bit). -- 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.
