No, it's expected that Fink will try to update itself when you run "fink selfupdate". What's your error message?

in order to try an unstable package, I entered fink selfupate which after downloading the new packages failed to install. I can not install any packages right now, because fink first try to compile itself version 0.18.0
I was also having problems with one of my machines yesterday (I didn't report them yet because I wanted to do some investigation myself). Maybe fink 0.18.0 doesn't work on machines whose owners are named "Matthias".
The problem was that during the test phase, two tests had problems: chowname.t failed some tests, and, I think, failure.t failed some tests. I did some tracking of the chowname test and found it somewhat irritating that an uid of -2 came out as an unsigned int instead. Could we dealing with a perl bug in some versions?
