Fink Selfupdate

[Koelling]

my fink selfupdate-cvs seems to be broken. Anyone else have troubles with it? It stops here:

cvs server: Updating dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-system
cvs server: Updating dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm
### su failed, exit code 1
Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.

I don't think I've had updated packages for months now and it didn't really bother me until I ran Fink Commander and it got stuck there too. I don't know if there is something I can remove (x11-wm) or reinstall (fink, but with out deleting my sw folder). Anyone know what could be the problem for this?

I am running Package manager version: 0.9.12
Distribution version: 0.4.0.cvs

Koelling,

Please can you show us the lines(more) above the message you posted, the clue must be there.

Cheers...

Sure, and actually, this is the first time I've noticed it saying stuff about package is not in the repository.

it seems to go through all the packages like this:

? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/fvwm2-2.4.4-1.info
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/fvwm2-2.4.4-1.patch
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/fvwm2-no-gnome-2.4.4-1.info
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/icewm-1.0.8-1.info
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/icewm-1.0.8-1.patch
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/icewm-basic-1.0.8-1.info
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/icewm-basic-1.0.8-1.patch
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/pwm-20010309-1.info
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/pwm-20010309-1.patch
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/windowmaker-0.80.0-1.info
? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/windowmaker-0.80.0-1.patch

Then it does this:

cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: Updating dists
cvs server: Updating dists/stable
cvs server: Updating dists/stable/crypto
cvs server: Updating dists/stable/crypto/finkinfo

Then stuff about package not being in repository:

U dists/stable/crypto/finkinfo/mutt-ssl-1.4i-1.info
U dists/stable/crypto/finkinfo/mutt-ssl-1.4i-1.patch

cvs server: dists/stable/main/finkinfo/editors/xemacs-sumo-pkg-20020522-1.info is no longer in the repository

And by the way, it got a couple lines farther today than the last time I posted:

U dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-system/xfree86-rootless-4.2.0-3.info
U dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-system/xfree86-rootless-4.2.0-3.patch

Koelling,

### su failed, exit code 1 
Failed: Updating using CVS failed. Check the error messages above.

Typically you get this error when a .info or .patch file has been modified, and its permissions are not what fink expects.

Look at the complete log and search if there is a message about any file that says to "move it out of the way" or "info is modified but no longer in the repository".

Delete or rename the offending file (which you modified somehow) and do the selfupdate-cvs again.

Let me know the result.


Cheers...
