> "Could not resolve host: github.com <http://github.com/>” High Sierra (older!) cannot open “github”, then I guess this message appears (not directly DNS) I reinstalled fink-0.45.6 and encountered the same errors on fink selfupdate-git (see "first-trial") 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. (Note) /sw2/fink/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/base — no sound/.. sound/portaudio2.patch shall be add from somewhere ?? In the previously existed (now non Fink) /sw/fink/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/sound/portaudio2.patch What is the next step? > 2026/07/20 23:39、Scott Hannahs <sha...@us...>: > > Dear a_sk, > > Well you didn’t really follow my advice so what do you want me to do about this?

Read and try to interpret the error messages returned before just asking someone for help. As a faculty member, I am used to helping those who attempt to solve things on their own. Otherwise, you should hire a tech support person if you just want to not bother with the details at all. > > 2, So your system has a DNS error. This is not a problem with fink or git, but your networking error. Fix your network first as the error message says > > 3.
