we've had a port of the newer dpkg in our cvs for a while, it's just stagnated a bit. The last known issue was that upon integrating with our bootstrap process, it wasn't creating a status database. I believe that can be fixed by just touching the status file on post-install. Since this discussion resurfaced, I've updated the dpkg in our vendor branch to the latest version, and it appears to work OK. If people want to try it out, I would appreciate it. http://svn.finkproject.org/svn/users/ranger/trunk/experimental/3rdparty/10.4/main/finkinfo/base/ (and 10.3 for the 10.3 version) > It would depend on whether we need a tar version that is higher than > what the system provides (on either 10.3 or 10.4) for either dpkg or > fink. > > The current unstable dpkg.patch is 94k.

There are some patches to the actual code, but it's not huge. - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
