update-all

Dear Fink devellopers,

after a prolonged periode without update (several weeks) the list of
packages (and dependencies) to update might be quite long. This is why
the update-all command has been develloped.

However, (1) the update-all-process progresses through the list of
package to update alphabetically (am I wrong ?) and (2) to be updated,
some packages might need a later one in the list to be already
up-to-date. So, when this situation appears, the updating process is
stoped, as a fatal error is reported.

The only workaround I found in this situation is to manually update
the later packages before going back to the previous one. This is why
I venture to ask you if it might be an improvement to automatically
skip the package with error and try the next. At the end of the (first
cycle of the) updating-process, the failed updates could then be
retried.

With best regards,

Guillaume Ponchel.
