No, you can safely remove it. >I am self-updated to 0.3.2a The fink.old dir is only kept for security, in case something goes really really wrong during the selfupdate. This way, you can move it back if everything worked out fine. > >Also, in /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base I have: > > base-files_1.4-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > base-files_1.5-1_darwin-powerpc.deb >debianutils_1.15-4_darwin-powerpc.deb > fink_0.9.5-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > fink_0.9.6a-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > fink_0.9.7-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > gettext_0.10.40-2_darwin-powerpc.deb > ncurses_5.2-6_darwin-powerpc.deb > >Is there any reason *not* to remove the older of the duplicates? You should be safe to remove them. However, fink isn't doing this automatically, for various reasons, one being that you might want to go back to an older version of a given package. You can also remove stuff from /sw/src, esp. any subdirectories of it. We might want to add a "fink cleanup" (well, maybe a better name would be apporpriate :) which does stuff like this automatically, with a configurable "cleanness" level.
