Package manager version: 0.29.10 Distribution version: selfupdate-rsync Sat Mar 13 10:24:52 2010, 10.5, powerpc Unstable enabled
In a misguided effort I used Carbon Copy Cloner (latest version) to create a bootable HD from my existing install. I excluded a number of files and directories, including the /sw directory. Following this operation I discovered numerous permission-related problems. With respect to Fink, a selfupdate now produces the following: <snip> Hit http://bindist.finkmirrors.net 10.5/current/crypto Release Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /sw/var/lib/apt/lists/ _sw_fink_dists_local_main_binary-darwin-powerpc_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. ### execution of /sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait failed, exit code 100 I have run scanpackages with no change. An earlier post (from Alexander Hansen) suggested deleting the scanpackages.db. I followed by scanpackages but get the same E: messages. apt-get update of course produces the same E: responses. Fink update works and I was able to install and later remove a package. Thanks for any suggestions.
