I have replaced the HEAD file with the head file that you posted, checked to be sure that it was present as usr/bin/head, ran selfupdate-cvs again, and got exactly the same error message. So it appears that even with the correct head file in usr/bin the error identified in the FAQ is still happening. Any other ideas or possibilities?

It's essentially just that, except that the file isn't on your system: you'll need to get a copy from a different computer.
Why it happened is that there's a Perl module (I don't remember which one) that installs
/usr/bin/HEAD: on a case-sensitive file system this isn't the same as /usr/bin/head, but on HFS it is.
I'll put a copy online at:

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,

Subject: [Fink-beginners] Fink Selfupdate Problem
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.
