Re: Updating fink on an old MacBook Pro --not successful

What happens if you try to actually start Xcode.app instead of running 
`sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch` ? Running Xcode once will do the same 
thing as the command and install the private frameworks that aquaterm 
needs to build (who knows why these aren't part of the normal install; 
probably a license thing). There's no guarantee that running Xcode will 
work when the certificates have expired, but worth trying. Another thing 
I can think off to fool the certificate is to change the date on your 
computer to a much earlier time (2014?) and maybe fool the certificate 
that it hasn't expired.
