I can't get debianutils to install (and consequently I get a failure anytime I
try to do a fink selfupdate).
Below is the latest response. After a recent thread I had tried to force it to
fetch the latest tar and retry, but it's still failing.

So I started installing the additional packages one-at-a-time. The first added
the last. Everything went well until the third (sensible-utils). I got the
following error:

So I followed it's advice and re-ran the selfupdate that had started this whole
mess. I was surprised, but it worked.
Just thought I'd share the tortured path to success. Sometimes I'm just
stabbing in the dark, but even I can find success.
