Hi All! I am trying to install packages via Fink, but I always encounter the error message following: dpkg (subprocess): failed to exec dpkg-split to see if it's part of a multiparter: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/system-xfree86_4.2-11_darwin-powerpc.deb (--unpack): subprocess dpkg-split returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/system-xfree86_4.2-11_darwin-powerpc.deb E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Could anyone tell me how to surpass this problem?
