If you upgraded from 10.9 to 10.10: Capture a list of your installed packages. Rename your old Fink tree and bootstrap a new Fink. Then there are a couple of options to try: 1) install relevant packages from the .deb files from your old tree into your new one via "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/pkg1.deb /path/to/pkg2.deb ...". The .deb files will be in /sw.renamed/var/lib/apt/archives and in the directories under /sw.renamed/fink/10.7/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/ (where I called the renamed old fink tree /sw.renamed) This will reduce how many packages you have to build from scratch. 2) I haven't tested this one as of yet, but you might try renaming your new Fink tree and restoring your old one, and then use "sudo dpkg -i /sw.new/fink/10.7/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/base/fink_0.38.0-1_darwin-x86_64.deb" to install the new fink over your old one. If you updated from 10.8 or earlier, then we don't provide any upgrade path. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
