Thanks. I tried that, but it didn't work:
% fink reinstall xaw3d
sudo /sw/bin/fink reinstall xaw3d
Information about 619 packages read in 1 seconds.
pkg xaw3d version ###
pkg xaw3d version 1.5-3
The following package will be reinstalled:
xaw3d
dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-
powerpc/x11/xaw3d_1.5-3_darwin-powerpc.deb
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-
powerpc/x11/xaw3d_1.5-3_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-
powerpc/x11/xaw3d_1.5-3_darwin-powerpc.deb
### dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package xaw3d-1.5-3
Maybe there's a clue here in the verbose mode.
