My guess is that there was some strange issue from a selfupdate--but I'm not sure how it happened, either.

Thanks! That did the trick. I have no idea how that happened. I certainly didn't do it (at least not to my knowledge). I actually considered trying this fix myself, but I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do, and I wanted advice from somebody who knew more about this.

Thanks again,
Mike

That's indeed peculiar. Try moving /sw/fink/fink/debs up to /sw/fink/debs :

sudo mv /sw/fink/fink/debs /sw/fink/

That's where it's supposed to be, anyway.

Hi all,

something odd apppears to have messed up my fink installation (on 10.3). I'm continually getting errors that it can't find apt-shlibs, and it's not letting me do anything (see output below). But fink thinks that it's installed!

When I try to install apt-shlibs manually, I get an error when it tries to create a link to a file that doesn't exist. This one I can see how it's happening, but not why. The error is:

ln: creating symbolic link `/sw/fink/debs//apt_0.5.4-35_darwin-powerpc.deb' to `/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/apt_0.5.4- 35_darwin-powerpc.deb': No such file or directory
### execution of ln failed, exit code 1


But there is no /sw/fink/debs/ directory. There is /sw/fink/fink/debs/.

Can anyone help me fix my installation?

Thanks. . .
Mike
