 In said Mac done by selfupdate-git,
$which port2audio   no response=20
 In my current sequoia Mac,
$which port2andudio  port2audio not found

Any way I guess I have never installed port2audio.

In current Mac, (Fink files)
/opt/sw]$ ls
Applications/  etc/   fink.old/  lib/	   opt/   share/  var/
bin/	       fink/  include/	 Library/  sbin/  src/

In said Mac, similar folders are.

In TimeMachine /=C5=9Bw (Fink files) folders exist.  (Current Time =
Machine, there is no /sw and /opt/sw no Fink related files)
May I replace /sw by TimeMachine files,, How can I replace it safely, =
all by piecewisely ??

Former /=C5=9Bw is currently /opt/sw (TimeMachine /=C5=9Bw exist, but =
current one no)

your backups if it matters.  Did you restore a backup lately?
