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
p.s.: please cc: me on the reply in addition to replying to the list.
Are you using CVS selfupdate? You might want to try rsync in any case.
You may have a fink.old or fink.tmp directory (I can't remember which gets created) under /sw at well, and this might need to be manually removed.
