I am trying to update fink using fink selfupdate-cvs and receive the 
following messages:dpkg -i 
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-
powerpc/base/gettext_0.10.40-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
(Reading database ... 26575 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace gettext 0.10.40-2 (using 
.../gettext_0.10.40-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
  gettext
### dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package gettext-0.10.40-2

It  always fails on gettext. I thought I'd be smart and created the 
missing  file
/sw/share/info/gettext.info with touch which worked but now  I get the 
following message:Preparing to replace gettext 0.10.40-2 (using 
.../gettext_0.10.40-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
install-info: no entry for file `gettext'.

No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'.
install-info: unable to determine description for `dir' entry - giving up

Would appreciate some compassionate help.
Thanks,Bob
