This has been coming come up very regularly, I find about a dozen complaints like this in the past two months, and it should certainly be in the FAQ. It isn't, because nobody seems to know where it comes from and what to do about it (in particular, you cannot reinstall dpkg when dpkg is not working).
The people complaining about it seem to have proceeded to either reinstalling Fink from scratch or disappearing from the Fink scene completely.
Not a good situation.
Hello all,
I'm a new Fink user who attempted to pull down my first package this morning and encountered the following error message (using Fink Commander). I have been directed to this user group by the maintainer of the package I attempted to pull down, who suggested that this was a problem with the 0.18.0-1 package. I anyone able to shed any light on this for me?
Thanks very much in advance. James
