OK, I see the problem (although I can't figure out when it happened, but that is another story).

The FAQ says that to fix this I need to "get the origin head executable back". Is this just a matter of finding the file and copying it onto usr/bin/ and if so where would I look for that file? Or is it more complex than that?

Thanks,

Warren Gallin

Hi folks,
        
        A problem has occurred when I did a fink selfupdate.  There was a
compilation error, apparently because the curses file could not be
found?

Any advice or pointers are appreciated.
