I.e.
1) Look up what URl curl is complaining over, call it say $blat for $bar
2) cd /sw/src && sudo wget $blat && sudo fink install $bar
Granted I cheated & that's still four steps, with three of them slurped
onto one line. The key point though is that you can just short circuit
moving it around if you download where you want it in the first place.
Bigger question: is there somewhere in Fink's configuration that I can
replace the default 'curl' with 'wget'? I routinely have a hard time
downloading things with the former, but if I can't do it with the latter
then the problem is almost always with the resource being unavailable in
the first place (dead or changed link, server down, etc), rather than
problem with firewalls, ftp-passive mode, etc.
