Dear Fink Users,
Running fink under MacOS 10.10.5 (on a MacBookPro):
I ran`sudo fink selfupdate successfully, but when I then try
`sudo fink update-all`, I get an error message:
[summer-3:Contents/MacOS]14 bobw% sudo fink update-all
Scanning package description files
not a reference at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 1887.
And the update terminates. Attempting to update just a single package
generates the same message.
The update procedure to OS 10.11 (as featured on finkproject.org) is
inappropriate, as I am still on 10.10. But the `fink cleanup --deb` seemed
interesting, so I tried it: got the same error message.
Here's a snippet of Services.pm around line 1887:
if (Storable::store($ref, $tmp)) {
chmod 0644, $tmp; # Should be world-readable
unless (rename $tmp, $file) {
print_breaking_stderr("Error: could not activate temporary
file $tmp: $!");
return 0;
}
The "Services.pm" file is owned by root, but is world-readable. So, I'm
clueless as to what's going on! Maybe I'm looking at the wrong line
numbering. I wold be happy to attach my whole "Services.pm", if that
would help.
Any help will be appreciated.
Bob Wohlhueter
