1. There are multiple versions of the "python" package available--usually one for the latest version of each "python2X" package that is available. "fink dumpinfo -fallversions python" will list al known versions of a given package. 2. By default, the "fink" command usually uses the highest version of a given package-name, but you can pass an explicit version instead. So now you have enough info to be able to install the "python" corresponding to any known "python2X": check "fink list python24" to find what version it is, then "fink install python-1:2.4.2-4" (for me anyway, your "fink list" might give a different version). Of course you can't "fink update-all" because that would update python to point to python25 (because that's the most up-to-date python). dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
