Hello all, I'm new to the list. I've tried searching the archives for an answer to my problem, found a few hits, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
I've been trying to get a successfull re-install of Fink going after getting a new machine. My previous install worked beautifully. Now, after installing the binary distribution, I was not able to see any packages via dselect (other than the few base packages). Updating (sudo apt-get update) only produces the following: [thors-hammer] soob% sudo apt-get update Err file: local/main Packages File not found Ign file: local/main Release Err file: stable/main Packages File not found Ign file: stable/main Release Hit http://fink.sourceforge.net release/main Packages Err file: stable/crypto Packages File not found Ign http://fink.sourceforge.net release/main ReleaseFATAL -> Could not set non-blocking flag Operation not supported by device E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
