Re: fink update

Dear Alex. Thanks for answer. Sorry for attachment - it looked too long for the message.

The problem was like that for the clean new installed fink - I have it in separate directory with nothing else and still cannot install any package with the same error.
Merging just allows me to have my staff working and fink looks exactly the same as when it was alone. Of course I run ‘fink configure’, ‘fink scan packages’. The same result...
