Hey people! lately i've been having a lot of problems with installing fink packages. upon further examination it seems like due to the fact that sourceforge has moved to a mirror system, fink downloads are broken.
has anyone been able to work around this? # fink install xfree86-rootless Reading package info... Information about 427 packages read in 2 seconds. pkg xfree86-rootless version ### pkg xfree86-rootless version 4.2.0-2 The following package will be installed or updated: xfree86-rootless The following additional package will be installed: xfree86-base Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y rm -rf xfree86-base-4.2.0-4 mkdir -p /sw/src/xfree86-base-4.2.0-4 tar -xvzf /sw/src/X420src-1.tgz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors ### tar failed, exit code 2 Unpacking the tarball X420src-1.tgz of package xfree86-base-4.2.0-4 failed. The most likely cause for this is a corrupted or incomplete download. Do you want to delete the tarball and download it again? [Y/n] rm -f /sw/src/X420src-1.tgz curl -f -L -O http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/X420src-1.tgz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Curr.
