Hello,
I have a binary distribution of Fink. I have tried to run 'fink selfupdate', but that failed with the following message:
--------
> fink selfupdate
rm -f LATEST-FINK
curl -L -s -S -O http://fink.sourceforge.net/LATEST-FINK
I will now download the package descriptions for Fink 0.3.2a and update the
core packages. After that, you should update the other packages using
commands like 'fink update-all'.
tar -xzf -
^C### tar failed, exit code 2
Failed: unpacking packages-0.3.2a.tar.gz failed
--------
I have had the same problem, but its solved now. There is a solution in the net. Eric send me the link it was:

Hope it helps you too :-))

I have interrupted the tar command after a long period of waiting. I presume this only works with the source installation?
Then I tried to update the package using the approach suggested in the instructions for the Fink 0.3.2a binary installer package (.pkg). That is, to select 'Update' in dselect. However, this is the version reported after that:
> fink -ver
Package manager version: 0.9.6a
Distribution version: 0.3.1
I am using the 'stable' installation source. Is 0.3.1 the latest stable distribution? Or is the updating mechanism broken? I think that latest stable is 0.3.2a ...
Thanks, I appreciate your advice.
Good luck.
Rudy
