Which one? Do you have a real user with account name "unknown" on your machine? Check the owner of the directory /sw/fink/10.4 (or whatever dist you are updating), using "ls -l /sw/fink". That's the one fink is using as user name for the su command. If the directory is owned by a user id that has no account on your machine, you'll see the kind of error you described. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
