Since user ershler doesn't have write permission in /sw/fink, selfupdate won't work. You need to chown the /sw/fink directory to ershler or run the selfupdate command as dustman. Why fink pretends in this situation that /sw/fink/10.4 is owned by user "unknown", is a deeper perl mystery that I don't understand. I imitated that situation and got the same result, user "unknown". OTOH, when I take the two lines of perl code that fink is using to determine the owner of that directory and repeat them on the command line, I get the correct user, not "unknown". -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
