Then I added that directory with fink configure as a place to look for tarballs (even though this file is not compressed...).
Then I fink selfupdated and tried to install docbook-bundle (which requires docbook-dsssl-ldp); this failed with the same errors as before.
So I changed the file name to ldp.dsl-1.12 (I simply added -1.12).
Then I fink selfupdated and again tried to install docbook-bundle. This succeeded:

It was kind of fun because I did all this remotely from home to my computer at work via sftp and ssh! Shouldn't I get some sort of beginner's pin or a chest to pin it on or something...? I mean I almost have two identical fink installations one serving as a binary distributor for the other and soon to be running the other way as well (by the way, thanks for the docs on this!). I intend to use the pair of them to test packages (and just getting them to that point is already helping to test packages). When my LAN administrator bumps up my OS to 10.3 or 10.4 at work in another month or so, I'll do the same at home and then set them up to test packages in that tree (I can test them with my remote connections after I go home--naturally I wouldn't do this during my regular work hours). The reason two computers are better than one is that the two are never really identical setups due to the user's memory (yes, me), so there is a chance that I will find a problem with missing dependencies, etc., on one machine that the other machine misses. By having them distribute binaries back and forth, I'm able to test specific packages without having to build all of their (known) dependencies over each time. That's the plan anyhow... now back to your regularly scheduled program.

### execution of axel failed, exit code 10 Downloading the file "ldp.dsl-1.12" failed.
(Pretty sure this one failed because of the suffix on the file name -1.12)
I will try the manual download Michèle suggests and post the results.
--Thanks, Robert

I'm not sure what to tell you. The file ldp.dsl exists on the original web site: <http://tldp.org/authors/tools/ldp.dsl>
Maybe you can try to download it and place it in /sw/src provided that /sw is your prefix. Then issue fink install docbook-dsssl-ldp. The file is renamed on the fly with a version number to ldp.dsl-1.12.
Unfortunately I cannot test right now if it exists on some fink mirrors (it should since the time I put it), because the connexion is very, very slow today on all mirrors.
