It's still possible to update it directly from CVS, though this is usually only interesting for people creating packages, not the average user. The package manager must be updated through a separate directory and the inject.pl script. That script puts package descriptions and tarballs for the fink and base-files packages in your Fink tree and builds them. For the first time procedure, you need a temporary directory (called tempdir in the example) which is empty (or at least doesn't contain a subdirectory named 'fink').

There is still the question why you and others keep seeing this problem. There was a "window" of less than 3 hours two days ago where this problem could come up for people who were selfupdating then. It was fixed with the release of fink-0.17.3-1. If it came up much later (allowing for the synchronization latency of the rsync and anoncvs servers), there must be some mechanism at work that is yet unexplained. Unfortunately, none of those claiming to have had this problem later, even with fink-0.17.3-1, have given a precise account of what they were doing to get into the problem and out of it. As far as I am concerned, there is no clear evidence that there should still be anything wrong, and I consider this affair closed. -- Martin --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
