You may be OK then--I thought your version was 0.4.1 from the binary installer. What do you get if you type 'which tar' in a terminal window? On Wed, 2002-11-06 at 23:54, Vasisht Tadigotla wrote: > > i installed fink using the instructions for a fresh install on jaguar. > after doing fink selfup

You can't use apt-get yet for 10.2--the binaries that are available are 10.1 versions, and not all of them work on 10.2. Since you did a clean install, it might be worth it just to do a bootstrap--there's a new version of the source install tarball on the fink website (http://fink.sourceforge.ne

We'll get it back for you then. 1) you'll need to forcibly remove all xfree86-* packages you have installed to make sure the package manager is sane: dpkg --remove --force-depends xfree86-rootless-threaded dpkg --remove --force-depends xfree86-rootless-threaded-shlibs dpkg --remove --force-dep

That's normal--there's no clean upgrade path from xfree86-base-* to xfree86-* If you install the "xfree86-upgrade" package the upgrade will be performed for you. However, one other thing occurs to me. When you updated Panther, did you install Apple's X11 (and want to have it installed)? I
