Curiously, the lines
   ~% sudo apt-get update
   ~% sudo apt-get install dpkg
seem to indicate everything is OK:
   Reading Package Lists... Done
   Building Dependency Tree... Done
   Sorry, dpkg is already the newest version.
   0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0  not upgraded.

Be that as it may, the lines
   ~% fink install dpkg
   ~% fink selfupdate-cvs
   ~% fink update-all
each produce the same final output:
   can't find curses file
   make[2]: *** [curkeys.h] Error 1
   make[1]: *** [all-dselect] Error 2
   make: *** [all-recursive] Error 2
   ### execution of  failed, exit code 2
   Failed: compiling dpkg-1.10.9-2 failed

Umm...dpkg is what fink actually uses to install/remove files.

Since it's a core file, it should get updated when you use "fink
selfupdate-cvs"

I've never used Debian that I know of, but I see that my "dpkg" is out of date:
(i) dpkg 1.10.9-2 The Debian package manager
Still, when I try to update it with
fink install dpkg
my terminal churns through a lot of stuff and finally prints out
can't find curses file
make[2]: *** [curkeys.h] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-dselect] Error 2
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 2

Anyone have any idea what the problem is?
