Re: [Fink-beginners] fink self update function not working in Mac OS 10.12

[Charles L M. <clm...@co...>]

Thanks for the response. Here is the terminal output:

I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions.

BTW, I see that in /sw/lib/ there is a link from 10.11 to 10.9

10.11 -> 10.9-libcxx

do I just need a similar link from 10.12 (which is my OS as you can see from the terminal output) to 10.9?
