That did it, Martin. Thanks so much!!!! I had no '/usr/bin/head'. I downloaded 'head' from your website and moved it into '/usr/bin'. After that 'fink selfupdate-cvs' produced the long desired result
The core packages have been updated. You should now update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'. Regards, Vic At 7:58 PM +0100 2/5/03, Martin Costabel wrote:

This is a FAQ. Unfortunately, the fink web server is down ATM, so I cannot give you the URL, but it is there. Basically, the installation of the perl libwww clobbered your /usr/bin/head by a script named HEAD. You have to reinstall the original head binary.
