I'm trying to upgrade the package list from 0.3.1 to 0.3.2a and it just doesn't seem to want to do it.
I've tried three different ways and none seem to work: --------------------------- 1. apt-get update: [/sw] root# fink --version Package manager version: 0.9.6a Distribution version: 0.3.1 [/sw] root# apt-get update Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net release/main Packages Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net release/main Release Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net release/crypto Packages Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net release/crypto Release Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net current/main Packages Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net current/main Release Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net current/crypto Packages Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net current/crypto Release Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done [/sw] root# fink --version Package manager version: 0.9.6a Distribution version: 0.3.1 ------------------------------ 2. dselect: [U]pdate and [I]nstall: it does basically the same thing as above. ------------------------------ 3. fink selfupdate: When I try the 'fink selfupdate' method, it downloads the newer packages file but then hangs and doesn't install it. (I let it sit for at least 5 minutes before finally killing it. [~] root# fink selfupdate The selfupdate function can track point releases or it can set up your Fink installation to update package descriptions from CVS. Updating from CVS has the advantage that it is more up to date than the last point release. On the other hand, the point release may be more mature or have less bugs. Nevertheless, CVS is recommended. Do you want to set up direct CVS updating? [y/N] n Okay, the selfupdate command will stick to point releases from now on. If you ever rethink your decision, run 'fink selfupdate-cvs' to be asked again. 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'. curl -L -s -S -O http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/packages-0.3.2a.tar.gz tar -xzf - ^C### tar failed, exit code 2 Failed: unpacking packages-0.3.2a.tar.gz failed _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
