It is possible that the answer is no. The upgrade from 0.4.0 or 0.4.0a to 0.4.1 via "fink selfupdate" has not been tested until very recently. I am forwarding this to the fink-devel list. Maybe someone with a more profound knowledge of the inner workings of fink the package manager, and in particular older versions, knows what to do. Or maybe somebody has even tried it out. I suspect it is necessary to first get fink-0.10.0 from the 0.4.1 binary distribution via apt-get before "fink selfupdate" will work. The URL of the packages tarball is contained in the "mirror" subsystem, and it seems to me that the sourceforge mirrors have been added *after* the previous fink release. > [localhost:~] joe% sudo fink selfupdate > Password: > curl -f -L -s -S -O http://fink.sourceforge.net/LATEST-FINK > > I will now download the package descriptions for Fink 0.4.1 and update the > core packages.
