There appears to be a minor file permissions bug with the binary version of fink.
I installed fink on an old iBook on about 27 Sept using the fink 0.4.0 binary installer. I used dselect to update to fink distribution 0.4.1 on 29 Sept. On 30 Sept I noted that fink --version did not work properly due to a permissions problem (see below). I changed the permissions, and it works correctly now, but I figured you might want to know about the problem.

Thanks so much for all the work you do on the fink project. Kevin Horton ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: DEDICATED SERVERS only $89!
