Don't _describe_ your errors.  Copy and paste them from the terminal
when they occur.  I have no idea what exactly you did.

I've absolutely no clue what this means from a description rather than a
literal transcript.

That's what it was before.

Without seeing a literal transcript of your output from the time you
tried to do "fink install perl588" I have no idea what went on.

It's the same thing as you saw before.  You did the same operation and
got the same result, so Fink isn't insane.


My questions at this point are:

Do you have both perl588-core_5.8.8-9_darwin-powerpc.deb and
perl588_5.8.8-9_darwin-powerpc.deb in
/sw/fink/10.4/stable/main/binary_darwin_powerpc/languages ?

Do you also have perl588-core_5.8.8-9_darwin-powerpc.deb and
perl588_5.8.8-9_darwin-powerpc.deb in /sw/fink/debs ?

There have been updates to 10.4/stable since then, yes.

Possibly not.
