So you are indeed on HFS+? Then it’s probably not APFS-related; I am rather not looking
forward to wiping my entire boot volume and reinstall the OS, but I will give the bootstrap
Fink install a try (can’t seem to pull a JRE installation off via remote login, so this will have to
wait for me to get back at the machine). I also noticed I probably did not upgrade to 0.42.0
before the OS upgrade but somehow managed to complete the upgrade without following
the exact instructions on http://www.finkproject.org; this may have left some things in disorder.
OTOH I did not notice any other problems arising from the missing Packages.gz file so far.

Cheers,
					Derek
