'fink selfupdate-cvs' or 'fink selfupdate --method=3Drsync' if you are =
changing your update method.=20


I will now run the git command to retrieve the latest package =
descriptions. The 'su' command will be used to run the git
command as the user 'akios'. After that, the core packages will be =
updated right away; you should then update the other
packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.

/usr/bin/su akios -c '/usr/bin/git fetch --quiet origin'
/usr/bin/su akios -c '/usr/bin/git checkout --quiet master'
/usr/bin/su akios -c '/usr/bin/git merge --ff-only --quiet =
origin/master'
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten =
by merge:
	10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/sound/portaudio2.patch
Please move or remove them before you merge.
Aborting
### execution of /usr/bin/su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Updating using git failed. Check the error messages above.

So far, there were never such errors (on this mac OS) How can we do to =
cope with it for novice..=
