What I've found by searching is that this error is associated with partial .deb files, and yours looks like it's not the right size: $ ls -lh /sw/fink.old/10.4/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/text/tetex-texmf_3.0-2_darwin-i386.deb - -rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 142M 2009-06-03 14:21 /sw/fink.old/10.4/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/text/tetex-texmf_3.0-2_darwin-i386.deb I'd suggest "fink rebuild tetex-texmf; fink install tetex-texmf". - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvUt1AACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/N3gCeLuCCVOsEKQYigLdNSH7rUDQd RRgAn0LvRpc8sWawR89dF1ReYAuxX3MH =eYRI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
