Yes, this is a symptom of fink (<< 0.9.9) not understanding the new splitoff syntax. The following, however, must be some other problem. > >No package name in > >/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/text/ispell-german-20011124-1.info > >Information about 684 packages read in 9 seconds. 684? This is neither stable nor unstable from 0.4.0. You really should have a look at the package descriptions on your hard disk. There is something wrong. Fink thinks you have version 0.4.0 installed, but it's not true. How did you install this version? Did you use the binary installer? dselect? apt-get? cvs? or fink selfupdate? Something must have gone wrong. How to correct it depends on the method you used for installing in the first place. One way to get at least the right version of the package manager is to copy the info file directly from the server at http://fink.sourceforge.net/bindist/dists/fink-0.4.0/main/finkinfo/base/fink-0.9.11-1.info (this is a very small text file) and copy it into your /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo directory. fink update fink *must* then pick this version up. > >dpkg -i > >>/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/fink_0.9.7-1_darwin-powerpc.deb > >(Reading database ... 18244 files and directories currently installed.) > >Preparing to replace fink 0.9.7-1 (using > >.../fink_0.9.7-1_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... > >Unpacking replacement fink ... > >Setting up fink (0.9.7-1) ... This clearly shows that you don't have any fink-*.info file newer than version 0.9.7-1, whereas you should have fink-0.9.9-1.info. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
