Unfortunately, "no packages to install" is the catch-all message for either an attempt to install (a) package(es) that do(es) not exist in your enabled Fink trees or for an attempt to install (a) package(s) that is|are currently installed at the latest known version. I should have asked _what_ you were trying to install when you got "no packages to install". If you're trying to install a package that only exists in the unstable tree, and you don't have that turned on, then you'll get that message. Try "fink configure", activate unstable, then "fink selfupdate" to download the unstable tree package descriptions. I'm not 100% sure what's all fixed and what is still needing repair in the KDE 3 chain. It's possible that quanta may work. If not, and if you're using a 32-bit setup, I know of a possible workaround. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxGXr0ACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9GPwCfVzZFs3q4cZUikFIxzShAzP2L jBMAn2QYglJU3dJpp+vY/EeAdNuYDiPi =H5lL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
