Hi,

Could I get some help with fink, please?

I am trying to install XEMACS on my new Mac running OSX 10.5 using fink. When I use FinkCommander
I get the following message:

Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  xemacs-base-pkg
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
Need to get 481kB of archives. After unpacking 1909kB will be used.
Err http://bindist.finkmirrors.net 10.5/release/main xemacs-base-pkg 1.84-1
  403 Forbidden
Failed to fetch http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/bindist/dists/fink-0.9.0/main/binary-darwin-i386//editors/xemacs-base-pkg_1.84-1_darwin-i386.deb 403 Forbidden E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

When I try apt-get I get the similar message:

a-roszak% sudo apt-get install xemacs-base-pkg
Password:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Could you tell me please what is the meaning of the error '403 Forbidden' (or where can I find the info on errors?) and how can I correct this situation? Is this possibly due to some fire wall at my university or something in my fink installation?

Best regards,
Aleks
