fink uses a cache for all of the .info and .patch files to speed up operations: but we've been getting a number of reports of late of this cache not getting updated properly under the normal indexing operation. "fink index -f" will forcibly flush and update the cache, and fink will then have the correct information to use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
