Actually, 1.3.1 corresponds to OS X 10.0.1. Public beta would be 1.2. Refer to http://www.opensource.apple.com/news/qa20010925.html > with XFree 4.20.

I am probably missing >something incredibly obvious, and I'll feel like a first class idiot when >you guys point it out... Uhm, you have no dpkg installed??? I.e. no /sw/bin/dpkg is there? Then something went very wrong for you. How did you install Fink anyway? From source? If so, did you follow the instructions in detail (i.e. you used the right install scritps etc) ?
