These problems occur when I try to use fink update or fink selfupdate or fink selfupdate-cvs
First: it will not untar packages-0.4.0.tar.gz file. That is the file to update my fink packages Second it will not untar lesstif-0.93.18-2.tar.gz I am able to run dselect just fine. But I want to update to fink 0.4.0 (now on 0.3.2a) ?? Jim Here are the actual errors for sudo fink selfupdate ( it fails at the same point for sudo fink selfupdate-cvs) curl -f -L -0 http://fink.sourceforge.net/LATEST-FINK % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Curr.
