I think the basic answer is not to install dpkg-bootstrap, since it's not intended for day-to-day use, according to the description:

% fink desc dpkg-bootstrap
Information about 2776 packages read in 4 seconds.

dpkg-bootstrap-1.10.9-14: The Debian package manager (bootstrap package)
 dpkg installs and removes binary packages; it is the base of the
 distribution. This package also contains some helper programs. This
 package does not build dselect and thus doesn't require ncurses. It is
 intended to be used during bootstrap.

It's only happening with dpkg-bootstrap, which I really don't need. earlier, it was happening with everything. Either way, I'm interested in learning how something like this would be fixed.

The answer to your question depends on what package are trying to install. 822-date is indeed supposed to be installed by dpkg.

I searched through both the user archives and the beginners archives and found nothing, so if I missed something, I apologize in advance. Thanks.
