What errors do you get when you try "apt-get install package"? The messages you show below are pretty normal. They are not real error messages.

You should be able to install all binary packages from there using apt-get. > Failed to fetch > file:/sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/Packages File > not found > Failed to fetch > file:/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/Packages File > not found > Failed to fetch > file:/sw/fink/dists/stable/crypto/binary-darwin-powerpc/Packages > File not found > Reading Package Lists...

If you want to correct this, run "fink scanpackages". -- Martin _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.
