I was having some problems that seemed to trace to a glitch in dpkg, 
so I did a "fink rebuild dpkg" (except via Fink Commander):

>The following package will be rebuilt:

>...
>...many lines skipped...
>...
>dpkg -i 
>/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/dpkg_1.9.20-4_darwin-powerpc.deb
>(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing 
>/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/dpkg_1.9.20-4_darwin-powerpc.deb
>

>Errors were encountered while processing:

>Processing was halted because there were too many errors.

It is not clear to me the *best* way to repair whatever caused this.

Suggestions?
