Original post:

        I hope to reach the right people with my upgrade troubles. Just  
wanted to let you know, that your instructions didn't work as expected.
        I just upgraded to 10.6, installed the XCode tools, and went on to  
follow your 4-step instructions, namely:

add "NoAutoIndex: true" to /sw/etc/fink.conf
(fink index -f)
fink reinstall fink
fink update fink
fink install perl588-core
fink configure

        Unfortunately, "fink reinstall fink" did not work:

construct:~ nicapicella$ fink reinstall fink

The following package will be rebuilt:

        I then went on to modify /sw/etc/fink.conf in that I switched  
"Distribution: 10.5" to "Distribution: 10.6" since I thought that  
would do it. Unfortunately, it didn't. I'm no expert, but love to play  
around so I decided to check out the mentioned "/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/ 
Services.pm line 1404". I simply removed the problem-making "or"- 
statement, played around and got my update.
        As soon as I have more time, I plan to switch to 64-bit Fink, so my  
"hack" isn't so bad for the time being for now, it just needs to  
work. ;-)

        Regards and keep up the good work!
