Here's a thought: Rename your existing /sw (e.g. to /sw.old), then do a new bootstrap into /sw . After that is done try sudo cp -r /sw/etc/fink.conf /sw.old/etc sudo cp -r /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/* /sw.old/lib/perl5/Fink/ sudo cp -r /sw/lib/fink/* /sw.old/lib/fink/ Then rename your new /sw to /sw.new and /sw.old to /sw again. I _believe_ that should cover the files which need to be changed, but if not, you'll have your /sw.new to copy from. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
