Hmmm, a new(?) glitch -- I can't seem to get past this error:
___

The following packages must be temporarily removed, but there are no 
.debs to restore them from:

   libev4 libev4

Exiting with failure.


(Yes, it lists the same package twice.)

I’m honestly not sure.  What’s failing to download isn’t a particular package, 
though, but an index for all of the packages.  

Is it possible that you are happening upon updates which _aren’t_ in the binary 
distribution due to new versions/revisions, and therefore are being built from 
source?

It was already set.  Shall I try something different?

I seem to be able to "chip away" at updating from source: although just 
running # fink update-all  fails after a few packages, it does update a 
few -- less each time I run it -- until it fails immediately; then I 
"manually" update a few from the list and try again.  Then update-all 
gets a few more  I've done this before; eventually I get up to date 
(or almost so) and then I seem to be able to go back to normal.  I 
wonder if the failure on downloading binaries is due to some specific 
package needing updating?

I don’t know if it will make a difference, but you might try setting 

RootMethod: none

in /sw/etc/fink.conf if you haven’t done that already.—akh
