Re: [Fink-users] Fink selfupdate failed
To Martin Costabel & Chris Devers - I had, indeed, modified the libxml2 info file, so I followed Martin's instructions, deleted the file, updated the cvs, then re-ran the update and all went well. Also, by pointing out what some of those codes mean, you allowed me to troubleshoot this problem should it show up again. Many thanks for your clear & prompt assistance.

Nothing should be screwed up by that, but you throw away most of the useful output. A better variation IMO would be to send all output to a log file with the 'tee' command, and then scan that for errors if anything goes wrong: tcsh% fink selfupdate-cvs |& tee ~/fink_selfupdate-cvs tcsh% grep 'no longer in the repository' ~/fink_selfupdate-cvs Note the '|&' construct -- in the tcsh shell [OSX default], this sends both standard output & standard error down the pipe. If you don't capture stderr then chances are you won't capture error messages. The same trick can be donw in bash/sh but I forget the syntax on that side... At a guess, you might have an error in there about "move $foo, it is in the way" or something like that. This can happen when you've manually edited a file that CVS wants to have exclusive read/write/create/delete access to. If you have any errors like that, do what it says -- find the file that it's complaining about and move or delete it, then re-run the CVS update. If that was the error, the update should then work. -- Chris Devers[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yow!

Re: [Fink-users] fink selfupdate failed
I have been using Fink for quite a while (since before Debian packaging) and have installed it from scratch successfully twice before (on Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1). I subscribed to this list and have been following this thread in particular because my third attempt is failing for similar reasons. Following the instructions on a machine which has never had Fink installed before, and doing a source rather than binary install, I have had the following two problems: 1. debianutils as specified in the .info file no longer exists. The version in http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debianutils/ is now 1.16, so the download during the bootstrap process fails. After editing the .info file, 2. I encounter multiple instances of the "mirror problem", i.e., tar.gz files of about 8K bytes which are actually HTML directing me to use a mirror, as reflected in this thread. My next step is going to be downloading the files that I know are bad during the bootstrap process into /sw/src and continue, since Fink seems to handle interrupted installations fairly cleanly. All in all, it appears to me that source installation from scratch is broken, or perhaps the instructions need to be updated somehow. I know enough to keep plugging along, but perhaps someone who knows more about the internal workings should try a clean install. Many thanks to the various developers - my use of Mac OS X has been greatly improved by the various versions of Fink and all the GNU and Open Source software made available through it. -- John Montague ___ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
