Start with sudo ln -s /sw/fink/10.7 /sw/fink/10.10 sudo rm /sw/fink/dists sudo ln -s /sw/fink/10.7 /sw/fink/dists so that fink can at least find the VERSION file. (The goal here is for you _not_ to have to reinstall everything, but if all else fails you can use your newly injected Fink and install from the .deb files in your old Fink to save time.) -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
