Hi Max,

The "update" command is simply an alias for "install", and is 100% identical in its functionality. So this was not the cause of the problem you were seeing.

thanks for the clarification; that's more or less what I assumed as well and just 
was using "update" for the benefit of doubt. Now I am rather confused as to what 
happened, possibly it was actually fixed by a rebuild of the package. I thought 
I had first tried unsuccessfully again the "fink update" after the rebuild, but 
apparently I did not... I was wondering as well whether package being present 
in several fink installations simultaneously could cause problems (in addition to 
/sw I have installations both in /sw32 and /sw64 for testing). Each instance seems 
just to happily add and remove entries to NetInfo on its own...

BTW, has finkproject.org been hijacked or something? I was just trying to look up at 
what step of the package install PostInst is actually executed, but I am immediately 
redirected from any URL under finkproject.org to some advertising sites!

Cheers,
						Derek
