Hi Alexander, Thanks for responding to my questions promptly. As you suggested I ran self-update odouls:~ prachi$ fink selfupdate-rsync and then update-all odouls:~ prachi$ fink update-all
That did successfully update the fink software, but the problem is still persistent. Also, my fink distribution is 0.8.1. odouls:~ prachi$ fink --version Package manager version: 0.26.4 Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync powerpc Is there anything I missed?
