[Fink-beginners] installer won't run: missing or old bill of materials

[Alex Kasman]

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have done this, but since I was having trouble 
getting fink to work right (I'll describe those problems in a separate 
e-mail if I ever get it installed again) I deleted the whole /sw 
directory and downloaded the new installer.

So, now I have no /sw directory and Fink 0.5.2 Installer.pkg on my 
desktop.  I thought I'd run it and it would give me a new version of 
fink!  But, insteady it just gives the error message "missing or old 
bill of materials" and quits!

What should I do?   What is a "bill of materials"?  Is this a bug in 
the installer or is it a consequence of the fact that I previously had 
fink on my computer and tried deleting it (at the advice of an 
"expert")?

HELP!
