fails with the same error. then i tried sudo apt-get upgrade tar which also failed, but sudo apt-get install tar worked. now the tar version is 1.13.25 on my system, but whenever i try to install anything with fink, the whole thing compiles fine and then it tries to create a .deb and fails with the illegal option -- T. i've no idea why this should be happening. i guess i could do a clean install, but i'd like to figure out what's wrong. thanks, vasisht > On Thu, 2002-11-07 at 15:18, Vasisht Tadigotla wrote: > > > > > You may be OK then--I thought your version was 0.4.1 from the binary > > > installer. > > > > nope, i did not use the binary installer, all my troubles started after i > > did a fink selfupdate-cvs. > > > > > What do you get if you type 'which tar' in a terminal window? > > > > /sw/bin/tar > > > > tar version is 1.13.19 > > > > > > vasisht > > > > > > > On Wed, 2002-11-06 at 23:54, Vasisht Tadigotla wrote: > > > > > > > > i installed fink using the instructions for a fresh install on jaguar. > > > > after doing fink selfupdate-cvs i get as 0.4.1.cvs as the fink version. > > > > how do I get back to whatever fink version that works on 10.2.1 ?? > > > > > > > > thanks, > > > > > > > > vasisht > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Fink > > > > 0.4.1 doesn't work on 10.2.
