What method are you using to get administrative access for Fink? A root account? su? sudo with some special flags? We've had reports of similar issues when people have used a root account, but I haven't been able to reproduce the issue, which has made testing fixes a bit difficult. If you wouldn't mind trying out a potential solution, that'd be great. To do that, edit /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm as a superuser and change the line which says $tarcommand = "$basepath/bin/tar $permissionflags $tarflags"; # Use Fink's GNU Tar if available to $tarcommand = "/usr/bin/gnutar $permissionflags $tarflags"; Then try your selfupdate again and let us know what happens. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
