I just downloaded fink 0.45.6 on my Catalina system.  I've installed xcode
and java.

I got in the source directory fink-0.45.6 and ran ./bootstrap

It generated a lot of output (26000 lines) and then began to get
"404 Not Found" errors.  This happened in the command:
/opt/sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait -q update

It was complaining about the url
http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/10.15/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/Packages
and sure enough, if i try in a browser, i also get a 404.

And the tail end of the execution looks like this:

Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
### execution of /opt/sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait failed, exit code 100
WARNING: Failure while updating indexes.


ERROR: Bootstrap phase 2 failed!

So . . . should i just wait a while and try again?

If i redo bootstrap, will it be smart enough to skip everything that it has
already done?

Am i doing this at the wrong time of the day?

Am i choosing the wrong mirror?

I just went with the defaults on all the questions that bootstrap asked me.

Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers to the FAQ.
