I am trying to migrate my Fink installation from 10.4/powerpc on a new 10.5/intel box. My /sw directory was copied over via Migration Assistant.
This page implies that it should be possible without downloading a new installer: http://www.finkproject.org/download/upgrade.php?phpLang=en However, it seems like it needs some help. I have installed Xcode 3.1.2 and X11-2.3.2.1 from xquartz.macosforge.org. -=-=-=-=-=- $ sudo apt-get update [looks good] $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [lots of messages about unmet -pm586 dependencies, e.g.:] Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: app-cli-pm586: Depends: perl586-core but it is not installable. For Fink users, this often means that you have attempted to install a package from the binary distribution which depends on a "Restrictive" package.

I can save /sw/src and just filter the package list from the old Mac so that it does not include any -pm586 packages. thanks, -- Charles Lepple clep...@gmail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
