Hi, Thanks for the suggestion! Trouble is that there is no choice! I killed on one of my machine fink altogether and started roughly 20 times anew trying variants but simply no progress: fink does not work at all since it always crashes when it attempts to install apt. So no choice! On the oth

Hi Alexander, I am continuing my fight with fink and I am on the machine on which fink still exist. My trouble right now is that I cannot install/upgrade the following packages: - apt - gnuplot - emacs - cernlib2006 This is a pity because the last 3 is what I basically need from fink on MAC!

Hi, The trouble is that it can be installed from the package but it refuses to do so from fink leading to all sorts of problems, eg apt cannot be upgraded and bootstrap fails. So what am I supposed to do, please! I am trying since days! Ebenfalls mit fröhlichen Grüßen, Frank Schmidt Peter Dyb
