Guliano,

Looks like CERN has put cernlib on gitlab which needs a login (free =
login) to access the source tarball.  Shouldn=E2=80=99t the distfiles =
servers be syncing the correct package?  Having it on only one server =
might be fragile.

But  Giuliano has a fresh install so the command "fink -y fetch =
cernlib2006=E2=80=9D should cycle through servers until it hits a good =
one.  With fink configured to =E2=80=9CMaster First=E2=80=9D for =
searching it took about 5 tries to find a good download.  Note this is =
terribly out of date and there have been a lot of recent fixes since =
cernlib was revived.  The new package uses cmake to be more flexible.

-Scott
