I have performed the first steps, without problems.
(bootstrap, the cp commands, renaming /sw.old to /sw)
Now, if I try a fink selfupdate I get:

WARNING: Not saving timestamp of selfupdate because could not write 
/sw/fink/10.10/VERSION.selfupdate.tmp: No such file or directory
Scanning package description files
Failed: not a reference at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 1886.

If I try fink --version I get

fink --version

how can I proceed? I believe that I will have to reinstall all the packages I 
had but I need to perform an update or selfupdate first, right?
thanks again,
