I am having trouble getting Fink to selfupdate.  Neither rsync nor

No mirror worked. This seems unusual, please submit a short summary
of this event to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you


fink selfupdate-cvs
--------------------------

Fink has the capability to run the CVS commands as a normal user.
That has 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: [brian]

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]

Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree.
Please ignore errors on the next few lines.
Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password,
just press return (i.e. the password is empty).
/usr/bin/su brian -c 'cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/
cvsroot/fink login'
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/cvsroot/ fink
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.207):
2401 failed: Operation timed out
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access
failed.


fink scanpackages
-------------------------

For future reference, "scanpackages" is 100% irrelevant for getting
_new_ packages.  It basically exists to make the binary tools aware of
packages you've already built from source.

Thanks, I know. I included it only to show the errors it returned in case that was useful information.



I really need to get my package list updated to install some packages
not available as binaries.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Brian



rsync selfupdate worked for me (as I write this). Give it another try.



I still doesn't work. I've been trying this for about a week now with the same result everytime. I don't think this is some spurious problem due to which mirrors I'm trying.


Can anyone tell me why I can't selfupdate?
