Re: [Fink-beginners] Using apt creates errors
Making a link in /xxx/xxx/xxx/mirror/fink/10.3 where dists points to the current directory cleared the original problem. I then ran 'fink scanpackages'. After I ran 'apt-get updates' which finished with this output: xxx007:~ root# apt-get update Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done ace007:~ root# I then ran 'apt-get install mutt' witch it could not find: xxx007:~ root# apt-get install mutt Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package mutt I know mutt is there. When i run find . -name *mutt* I get this line (among others): ./mirror/fink/bbraun/10.3/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/net/mutt_1.4i-21_darwin-powerpc.deb So I guess I am a little farther now but still not there.

I can't get apt-get to not add 'dists' into the path. Yes, that's what it does. You need to adapt your file layout so that it takes this into account. On a standard Fink system, in /sw/fink you have dists as a symlink to 10.3 (or to 10.2-gcc3.3 if you are on OSX 10.2), that is, /sw/fink/dists is the same as /sw/fink/10.3. The sources.list line then has deb file:/sw/fink stable main crypto If you really want to keep both your sources.list line and your file layout, make an additional symlink inside fink/10.3 so that 10.3/dists and 10.3 become identical: sudo ln -s . xxx/mirror/fink/10.3/dists Don't forget to run fink scanpackages afterwards. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

In your case it seems you need to put bbraun into the path. No idea why. -- Martin --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

[Fink-beginners] Using apt creates errors
Hello, I am running fink version 0.7.0 on a Mac OS X version 10.3.4 and darwin kernel 7.4.0. I have rsync'd a fink repository on our file space. I would like to use apt-get to install binaries on our Mac systems. I edit /sw/etc/apt/sources.list to the necessary path: deb file:/xxx/xxx/xxx/mirror/fink/10.3 stable main crypto I run 'apt-get update' and get an error saying it can't find certain files: Err file: stable/main Packages File not found Ign file: stable/main Release Err file: stable/crypto Packages File not found Ign file: stable/crypto Release Failed to fetch file:/xxx/xxx/xxx/mirror/fink/10.3/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/Packages File not found As you can see, it add 'dists' into the path. I can't get apt-get to not add 'dists' into the path. Has anybody seen or dealt with this problem. Thanks for any information.
