thanx for your quick response,Yes, I see, you don't have the most recent package descriptions. You need to do a fink selfupdate-cvs.
I can't find your package with fink:
firt I tried it with finkcommander (i had to set unstable packages on)
but he didn't find it.
su I went to /sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/web
but I only saw

I tried fink selfupdate-cvs, but this has never worked (see below):
Mhmm.... Let's see.
[imac:main/finkinfo/web] *****# fink selfupdate-cvs
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] Y
Ok.
Fink has the capability to run the CVS commands as a normal user. That hasHere I would use your login name, and not root. Or do you normally login as root? (This is normally not recommended.)
some advantages - it uses that user's CVS settings files and allows the
package descriptions to be edited and updated without becoming root. Please
specify the user login name that should be used: [root]
For Fink developers only: Enter your SourceForge login name to set up full
CVS access. Other users, just press return to set up anonymous read-only
access. [anonymous]
Ok.
rm -rf /sw/fink.tmpMhmm... I looks like you don't have 'cvs' on your system. Very strange... What do the following commands output:
mkdir -p /sw/fink.tmp
Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree. Please
ignore errors on the next few lines.
touch /sw/fink/README; ln /sw/fink/README /sw/fink.tmp/README
Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password, just press
return (i.e. the password is empty).
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink login
Can't exec "cvs": No such file or directory at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 216, <STDIN> line 3.
### execution of cvs failed, exit code -1
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed.
which cvs
fink list cvs
ll /usr/bin/cvs
/usr/bin/cvs --version
Then you could also try to do 'fink install cvs'. Does this work?
I hope I can help you here. I am also sending a copy of this mail to the fink user email list so that others might help/profit from this conversation.
Chris.
