[forgot to send to list]
In gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners, you said:Since selfupdate wasn't working on my 10.2-gcc3.3 computer at work (on which I only yesterday enabled the unstable trees -- and on which I had a working stable-tree kde installation yesterday), I tried to update-all. This didn't work because the first thing it tried to update was fink....
Anyhow, how do I beat this one? (My guess is that it depends on something that is not installed, but, hey, I'm a beginner!)
Sounds like you're right on with the diagnosis though:)
Try installing "test-simple-pm560" (assuming '/usr/bin/perl -v' reports itself as v5.6.0). Then see if you can update the "fink" pkg.
dan
bash-2.05b# /usr/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.0 built for darwin
bash-2.05b# fink list test-simple Information about 3294 packages read in 3 seconds. i test-simple-pm 0.47-1 test-simple-pm560 0.47-14 test-simple-pm561 0.47-14 test-simple-pm580 0.47-14 test-simple-pm581 0.47-14 test-simple-pm584 0.47-14 test-simple-pm585 0.47-14
Installing test-simple-pm560 worked and selfupdate then worked.
Thanks, Robert
