It gives the same fondu error. Thanks anyway
*Somewhere* you have a .info file for fondu that is causing trouble. Since index works but list does not, the conflict is between the fondu you have installed and this file (as opposed to between two different files). Maybe there's one in .../stable/... (since nuking the one in .../unstable/... didn't help). The next version of fink was just patched to give an explicit listing of which files are causing the problem (instead of just "there is a problem somewhere"). dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
