Re: installation of fink: error with finkmirrors

Dear all,

Thanks!

shell session you run it in.

Yes, indeed - I tried with typing 'bash' to update, but that does not
update the environment.

With a new terminal window and 'fink selfupdate-rsync', I get this warning
/ error

Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and try again.

If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the FAQ on Fink's
website solves the problem.  If not, ask on one (not both, please) of
these mailing lists:

The Fink Users List <[email protected]>
The Fink Beginners List <[email protected]>.

Please try to include the complete error message in your report.  This
generally consists of a compiler line starting with e.g. "gcc" or "g++"
followed by the actual error output from the compiler.

Also include the following system information:
Package manager version: 0.45.2
Distribution version: selfupdate-rsync Mon Oct 12 14:24:57 2020, 10.15,
x86_64
Trees: local/main stable/main
No recognized Xcode.app installed
Xcode command-line tools: 12.0.0.0.1.1599194153
dpkg-1.10.21-1250 is set to build with only one job.


I have tried selfupdate now 3 times, same error.

Thanks, T.
