I'm having the same problem in two different machines, it seems to be related to upgrading OS X to 10.1.5.
I can't use fink at all, every package I try to install fails after downloading the files and creating directories, I have traced the problem to tar not being able to uncompress the archive, if I use the standard OS X tar (or even fink's tar preceding it with a /usr/bin/zcat and a pipe) I can uncompress it (but of course the syntax is not compatible with fink). This means that I can't even run fink selfupdate. I'm running a cvs version of fink on one of the macs, and a standard version on the other. (Package manager version: 0.9.11, Distribution version: 0.4.0.cvs) I wasn't able to upgrade through the binary version (apt-get update and such), as it seems that there is some server problem (apt-get does not give me enough information to debug the problem). Suffice it so say that <apt-get --reinstall install zlib> gives me the message: "Sorry, re-installation of zlib is not possible, it cannot be downloaded." Plus several other error messages related to the unstable branch. Please help, I don't really want to re-install my whole /sw directory!!!!
