I'm trying to rebuild my fink installation and cannot get past the "update-all". I have a Quad PPC Mac running 10.4.8, XCode 2.3, Apple X11 1.1.3. After moving my old /sw out of the way, I've done:
1. Installed using Fink-0.8.1-PowerPC-Installer.dmg 2. fink scanpackages; fink index; fink selfupdate (runs OK) 3. fink update-all (accepting all defaults) This does a bunch of stuff and ends with: (Reading database ... 4150 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace fink-prebinding 0.7.1-2 (using .../fink-prebinding_0.7.1-1002_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... Unpacking replacement fink-prebinding ... Setting up fink-prebinding (0.7.1-1002) ... Reading buildlock packages... Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies! Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be able to fix things by running: fink scanpackages apt-get update apt-get install gettext-dev=0.10.40-25 gettext=0.10.40-25 Updating the list of locally available binary packages.

Building Dependency Tree... Failed: Fink::SysState: Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies 4. So I try what it suggests: 4a. fink scanpackages (runs fine) 4b. apt-get update E: Could not open lock file /sw/var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the list directory So I am stuck. Any idea how I can get fink installed? I also tried starting over and using the unstable tree with the same result.
