justin,
where did you exactly find that code?
what I did was to check the SelfUpdate.pm in:
/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/SelfUpdate.pm
I found the following:
if ($sb[4] != 0 and $> != $sb[4]) {
($username) = getpwuid($sb[4]);
$cmd = "su $username -c '$cmd'";
$msg .= "The 'su' command will be used to run the cvs command as
the ".
"user '$username'. ";
}
$msg .= "After that, the core packages will be updated right away; ".
"you should then update the other packages using commands like ".
"'fink update-all'.";
print "\n";
&print_breaking($msg);
print "\n";
$ENV{CVS_RSH} = "ssh";
if (&execute($cmd)) {
die "Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.\n";
}
}
now it seems obvious that "($username)=getpwuid($sb[4]);" doesn't do
what it should.
any ideas how to change that?
I also looked at "/System/Library/Perl/darwin/auto/POSIX/getpwuid.al"
but that didn't make me any smarter either....

oooooh, what to doooo, what to dooooo?!?!?!
thanks in advance alex
