Hi Scott Hannahs, Hanspeter Niederstrasser,and fink experts,
A) I am afraid I am unable to understand what you mentioned on git =
command.
I wonder if why such error message appears this time, even now that I =
have the correct =E2=80=9Cservices.pm=E2=80=9D file as done before.
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten =
by merge:
10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/gd2-jpeg-boolean.patch
=
10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/gd2-nox-jpeg-boolean.patch
10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/libtheora0-shlibs.info
=
10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/libtheora0-shlibs.patch
10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/libtheora1-shlibs.info
10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/libwmf-gd-fixes.patch
10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/net/bmon_unused.patch
B) Now the above mentioned files are (with time stamp),
/opt/sw/fink/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics]$ ll
wheel 1408 10 23 14:05 gd2-jpeg-boolean.patch

/opt/sw/fink/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/net]$ ll
wheel 379 10 21 16:18 bmon_unused.patch
(Note: TimeMachine data of 10.20.2025 was left when macOS was recovered =
by Apple standard process. Fink data would not be stored on =
TimeMachine??)
c) Watching the above, I guess it would be impossible to retlieve =
overwritten original files. I had better start the following Fink =
essential commands;
mkdir -p ~/src
cd src
git clone https:/github.com/fink/fink fink-upstream
cd fink-upstream
I have never done same this Fink operation two times on the same macOS. =
(So far on 2nd time after updating macOS and done) How do you think it =
is ok?
