Oops.  I had forgotten that "install phase" meant the phase where files 
were getting copied around.

In this case, the actual error is somewhere earlier in the build.  The 
result of it is that some files didn't get generated, but the build 
continued on until the install phase where fink complains about them not 
being around.

You'll need to check earlier in the build for errors.  If you need to do 
the build again "fink -l build caca" will grab a log in /tmp for you.
