As a local example: Fionna-3:~ hansen$ apt-cache policy maxima maxima: Installed: 5.38.1-2 Candidate: 5.38.1-2 Version Table: *** 5.38.1-2 0 500 file: stable/main Packages 100 /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status 5.38.1-1 0 500 file: stable/main Packages 500 http://bindist.finkmirrors.net stable/main Packages If the newest version of the package doesn’t show a remote URI, like maxima-5.38.1-2 above, then it is newer than the binary distribution’s version—or at least your local copy of that information, since if “apt-get update” isn’t working it won’t be synced. —akh -- What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?

In general “fink rebuild package” should generate a local .deb file for you, barring a build error. The code which swaps out build conflicts insists upon having a .deb available to restore whatever it removed.

What’s failing to download isn’t a particular package, though, but an index for all of the packages. Is it possible that you are happening upon updates which _aren’t_ in the binary distribution due to new versions/revisions, and therefore are being built from source? —akh -- What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
