While trying to update various packages this morning via update-all (this
is off of CVS, by the way), an error was printed that is preventing me from
installing or updating packages. This has happened with fink 0.5.1.cvs
with package manager version 0.11.2 under Mac OS X 10.2.3 and 10.2.4.
For example,
------------------------------------------------------------------
$ fink update popt popt-shlibs
sudo /sw/bin/fink update popt popt-shlibs
Information about 2194 packages read in 1 seconds.
The following 2 packages will be installed or updated:

------------------------------------------------------------------
The error about libgnomeui2-dev having an empty filename thwarts the
installation of any package. I've tried removing libgnomeui2 and
reinstalling it from scratch, but the same error is printed during the
attempt to remove. For example,
------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo dpkg -r --force-all libgnomeui2-dev
(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing libgnomeui2-dev (--remove):
files list file for package `libgnomeui2-dev' contains empty filename
Errors were encountered while processing:
libgnomeui2-dev
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Any suggestions on how I can get past this?
Thanks!
