Thanks. This has gotten me a lot further. Unfortunately, it's dying now in
trying to install dpkg as part of "fink selfupdate". If I do a "fink
install dpkg" I get the same error. It's below. Any ideas? Thanks.
This is the end of it. I removed all of the "patching file...", "checking
for...", "creating...". If this is needed I can provide that as well.
Thanks. - Jeff
