I'd guess that the warnings are harmless, and you got zero entries because things were up-to date. You can test this by running
setenv LC_ALL setenv LANG "en_US" and then do the scanpackages again. Alexander K.

The installations seem to have gone fine. But when I attempt to use Fink for the initial "scanpackages", I get a bunch of terminal output that seems to be saying that my Perl "locale" settings are incorrect, and that zero entries were output to the fink database. When I run Fink Commander, I see nothing listed in the packages table. I have no idea what is incorrect in my setup or how to correct it. Can anyone help? (The terminal output follows...)
