AFAIR, you got a reply to which you didn't react.
All I want is XChat. it has dependencies that are dependenet on things that trickle all the way down to passwd. When passwd tries to install I get the following:Why are you using dpkg --configure? If you don't know what you are doing, this is not a command you are supposed to use.
% sudo dpkg --configure passwd
Password:What it tries to tell you is that dpkg --configure will not work if you don't unpack the package first. The script that is executed in the postinst phase has to exist first before it can be executed.
Setting up passwd (20020329-1) ...
/Applications/fink/var/lib/dpkg/info/passwd.postinst: update-passwd: command not found
Why don't you just let fink do its job? Or use dpkg --install if you insist on using low-level commands.
