Re: cernlib issue with Catalina OS

I did a selfupdate using rsync on 10.15.4 and looked for cernlib2006.  I did not find it.  I found geant4.9 when I looked for cernlib.

>>> Apt-get is just a download tool attached to a database and download servers.  Fink uses its own database and set of pre-built packages to download, so it need not have the same packages available as Ubuntu.  In point of fact, we don’t have any built packages for 10.15 yet.  Similarly, the cernlib packages aren’t available on 10.15 yet to build from source even though they available on earlier OS versions.  I don’t use it myself, so I’m not sure why.
>> CERNLIB was already mostly broken in 10.14. I don't think it will ever work on 10.15, which enforces that all applications are 64-bit. I don't have time to even start looking into how to get CERNLIB compiled with 64-bit. Sorry.
