Dear all,

After switching to OS X 10.15, I need to reinstall fink.
I followed the instructions on the fink page.
During ./bootstrap, I get the following error message:

-snip-

New package:
dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/base/base-files_1.9.17-1_darwin-x86_64.deb

### execution of /opt/sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait failed, exit code 100
WARNING: Failure while updating indexes.

ERROR: Bootstrap phase 2 failed!

end of error, defaults to command line.

I tried to rerun bootstrap, but then it does not want to reinstall in the
same dir again.
Any idea how to fix it?

Running

/opt/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh

works, but then

fink selfupdate-rsync

tells me: command not found

Thanks for any comments on how to resolve the error!

Best, T.
