weird - the fink install i'm using was reinstalled from scratch less than 1yr ago, and should be fresh and clean. (if it helps, i can try to update my MacPro to see if i'm getting the same issue, but since it is my main work tool, i'd rather be quite sure that the update can converge or i'm gonna be stuck until it does at a far-from-ideal timing. ) > If you have a moment, could I get you to put /sw/bin/tar back in place and > modify /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm to replace > $cmd = "dpkg-deb -b $ddir ".$self->get_debpath(); > with > $cmd = "env LANG=C LC_ALL=C dpkg-deb -b $ddir ".$self->get_debpath(); > and then try "fink rebuild base-files"? > We set LANG and LC_ALL for unpacking already, because of issues where the tar > command can lock up, so I'd like to see if it might help here. i tried it - but to no avail. i'm still getting the original 'tar: memory exhaust' error: Writing md5sums file... env LANG=C LC_ALL=C dpkg-deb -b root-base-files-1.9.14-1 /sw/fink/10.8/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/base dpkg-deb: building package `base-files' in `/sw/fink/10.8/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/base/base-files_1.9.14-1_darwin-x86_64.deb'. tar: memory exhausted tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now /sw/bin/dpkg-deb: subprocess tar -cf returned error exit status 2 ### execution of env failed, exit code 2 cheers, 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.
