Making a link in /xxx/xxx/xxx/mirror/fink/10.3 where dists points to the current directory cleared the original problem. I then ran 'fink scanpackages'. After I ran 'apt-get updates' which finished with this output:
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
<snip> Nope. "fink scanpackages" creates and updates a list of your locally built binary packages. "apt-get update" updates the list of available packages using all sources (local and remote)
