The Fink directory should be OWNED by YOU, not ROOT. This maybe why you originally had this problem. This would require sudo just to run Fink to do anything. Let Fink decide what needs to be installed/updated with root privileges. Please change your permissions away from root. Thanks for the heads up. Just to be clear I have never monkeyed with permission for fink for any reason. Now when I went to change it and follow your suggestion, I made a typo and applied username:admin to / sw instead of /sw/fink. I stopped it partway through, but fear problems ahead. What should be the permissions for the other directories in /sw? - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
[Fink-users] rsync failure? su failure?
My fink installation has been messed up for some time. Something like the following happens no matter what mirrors I select. I could not find anything on this in the first few pages of google or any explanation of the correct permissions in the docs. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
