so, selfupdate always used to work fine for me. i upgraded fink commander to the latest and now i get, after pages and pages of stuff:

Failed: Can't move "/sw/fink" out of the way

i have no idea whether the upgrade is related, since i also upgraded on my powerbook and didn't have this problem.

i've tried running the selfupdate as root and as my own username. i'm accessing CVS anonymously w/ no password. the perms on /sw and /sw/fink are:

partita 0/66 /sw% ls -lad .
drwxr-xr-x  13 root  admin  442 25 Apr 01:43 ./
partita 0/67 /sw% ls -lad fink
drwxr-xr-x  16 dpetrou  admin  544  6 Apr 09:39 fink/

the only other info i can think to provide is that the selfupdate seems to be doing a ton more stuff than it usually does... lots of link (ln) lines that aren't usual toward the end, right before failure, for instance.

thanks,
david
