I'm attempting to start from scratch with Fink; just too many errors to
deal with, and I didn't do the install all in one sitting, so would be best
to start from scratch and give it my full attention the second time around.
However, I'm getting some errors with the uninstall. I've searched the
archive, but the solutions for these (common) errors weren't clear to me,
so would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.

ERROR: Couldn't call apt-get, which is needed for the recursive option. Try
