[Fink-users] Update problem (missing file) ?

[Knhrr Gnrrh]

Greetings comrades,
I've recently tried a "self-update" via FinkCommander and received this unfortunate response:

su knhrr -c 'cvs -z3 update -d -P'
? stamp-rel-0.3.1
? dists/stable/crypto/finkinfo/curl-ssl-7.9-1.info

dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/fink_0.9.12-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
dpkg: cannot scan updates directory `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/updates/': No such file or directory
### dpkg failed, exit code 2
Failed: can't install package fink-0.9.12-1

Eh, I certainly haven't done anything with /sw/var/lib/dpkg/updates/ myself (at least intentionally), although it is just as certainly not extant. Any way for me to get another?

Thanks for your reply,
K. Gnrrh
