Hi all and thanks in advanced for any help!
When I type "fink selfupdate" if asks for my password, and after is lists all the info files it gives me this error...
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1 Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.
I haven't had this problem before updating in the past! I am in 10.3.3 with Fink 0.7.0.cvs. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

1) It is strongly recommended not to use CVS updating anymore, unless you're behind a restrictive firewall. If possible, switch over to rsync updating (via "fink selfupdate-rsync"). Here's why:

Switching to rsync should most likely solve whatever error you're getting.
2) Otherwise check the following FAQ entry
