Yes, that was it. As far as I can tell, neither fink nor dpkg has a 
feature to clean up after disasters by recursively removing any file in 
/sw that doesn't belong to an installed package. Since there is already 
a database of installed files, this should be possible, say by means of 
a Perl script, should it not?. Thanks once again for your help.
