Hi folks--
How can I straighten out this situation:
"fink install gettext-bin" fails claiming file /sw/share/local/locale.alias is part of package tar.
and trying to install both gettext-bin and tar fails as well.
It shouldn't be in tar. What version of tar do you have installed (and, for that matter, of fink and OSX)? Try fink update tar first.

I tried to reinstall tar and install gettext-bin as shown below. Note the "dpkg -S" at the end.
Still no luck. "fink index" didn't help either.
FWIW, I'm running on 10.2.8. and fink was recently upgraded from 0.4
fink --version reports: Package manager version: 0.17.1 Distribution version: 0.6.2.cvs
and I'm running it against dist 10.2-gcc3.3
