It looks like you used the 10.5 installer on 10.6. I guess it wasn't set up to prevent that. I'd say just skip to step 2 of "Upgrade Instructions for Mac OS X 10.7". I'm not sure why that document says that fink needs to be at 0.31.0 or later to capture the list of installed packages. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
