i restored back /sw/bin/tar and ran 'fink update-all' to try pursuing the update - selfupdate being now complete. i'm getting again the same error at the first package, but now on a different package (cpan-meta-pm5124) Writing md5sums file... dpkg-deb -b root-cpan-meta-pm5124-2.132510-1 /sw/fink/10.8/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/libs/perlmods dpkg-deb : construction du paquet « cpan-meta-pm5124 » dans « /sw/fink/10.8/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/libs/perlmods/cpan-meta-pm5124_2.132510-1_darwin-x86_64.deb ». tar: mémoire épuisée tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now /sw/bin/dpkg-deb: le sous-processus tar -cf a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 2 ### execution of dpkg-deb failed, exit code 2 do you reckon i should run 'fink update-all' with /usr/bin/tar instead? or am i likely to entirely mess my fink setup by doing this? thanks for your advice jeanfrancois donati ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
