xxx007:~ root# apt-get update Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done ace007:~ root#
I then ran 'apt-get install mutt' witch it could not find:
xxx007:~ root# apt-get install mutt Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package mutt
I know mutt is there. When i run "find . -name "*mutt*" I get this line (among others):
./mirror/fink/bbraun/10.3/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/net/mutt_1.4i-21_darwin-powerpc.deb
So I guess I am a little farther now but still not there. Any info would be appreciated.
p.s. - Is 'apt-get update' equivelant to 'fink scanpackages'
Thanks, Ben

As you can see, it add 'dists' into the path. I can't get apt-get to not add 'dists' into the path.
Yes, that's what it does. You need to adapt your file layout so that it takes this into account. On a standard Fink system, in /sw/fink you have dists as a symlink to 10.3 (or to 10.2-gcc3.3 if you are on OSX 10.2), that is, /sw/fink/dists is the same as /sw/fink/10.3. The sources.list line then has
deb file:/sw/fink stable main crypto
If you really want to keep both your sources.list line and your file layout, make an additional symlink inside fink/10.3 so that 10.3/dists and 10.3 become identical:
sudo ln -s . xxx/mirror/fink/10.3/dists
Don't forget to run fink scanpackages afterwards.
