I wasn't aware that this was coming from unstable. Should I go back to
version 1.9.17-2? What's strange is that it says 1.9.20-1 is installed but
I thought installing a later version would first attempt to remove this
version. The version that is attempted to be installed is also the same
version
[pcwrplap:~] hester% fink list dpkg
Reading package info...
Information about 870 packages read in 9 seconds.
(i) dpkg 1.9.20-1 The Debian package manager
dpkg-bootstrap 1.9.17-2 The Debian package manager (bootstrap
package)
Thanks.
