Jeremy and Fink Users: I have also been encountering a similar error on my machine running pure Darwin 1.3.1 (which is equivalent to the OSX Public beta) with XFree 4.20. I am attempting to get Fink 0.2.4a working (the last release specifically for 10.0), and I can't compile apt, dpkg, dpkg-bootstrap, gzip, libiconv, ncurses, or tar. All fail with errors similar to this one, which was encountered when installing libiconv:
Writing control file... Writing package script postinst... Writing package script prerm... dpkg-deb -b root-libiconv-1.7-2 /sw/fink/dists/stable/bootstrap/binary-darwin-powerpc Cant' exec "dpkg-deb": No such file or directory at /sw/bin/../lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 180. ### dpkg-deb failed, exit code -1 Failed: Can't create package libiconv_1.7-2_darwin-powerpc-deb This seems to be related to the absence of dpkg... but I can't install dpkg without first installing gzip, which gives me the same error (Can't exec "dpkg-deb": No such file or directory at /sw/bin/../lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 180, <STDIN> line 1.) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am probably missing something incredibly obvious, and I'll feel like a first class idiot when you guys point it out... Thank you in advance, Andy Cunningham ---------------- Jeremy wrote: I'm trying to compile the latest version of bonobo, but I'm getting this error: ... bonobo-1.0.19/po/zh_TW.gmo bonobo-1.0.19/bonobo.spec tar: Error in writing to standard output tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now ### bzip2 failed, exit code 2 Unpacking the tarball bonobo-1.0.19.tar.bz2 of package bonobo-1.0.19-1 failed. The most likely cause for this is a corrupted or incomplete download. Do you want to delete the tarball and download it again?
