It was already set. Shall I try something different? I seem to be able to "chip away" at updating from source: although just running # fink update-all fails after a few packages, it does update a few -- less each time I run it -- until it fails immediately; then I "manually" update a few from the list and try again. Then update-all gets a few more.... I've done this before; eventually I get up to date (or almost so) and then I seem to be able to go back to normal. I wonder if the failure on downloading binaries is due to some specific package needing updating?
