It looks like your dpkg was built against a later libiconv, and then the latter was downgraded to an older version. By any chance did you install something from the unstable tree and then try to revert your base packages? Unfortunately, once dpkg is broken it's pretty hard to do anything with Fink. -- Alexander K.
