The true question is whether your "head" executable is still the one

I see. Unfortunately, the faq only states:

This happens when you install the Perl libwww library on an HFS+
system volume. It tries to create a new command /usr/bin/HEAD, which
overwrites the existing head command because the file system is
case-insensitive. head is a standard command used in many shell
scripts and Makefiles. You need to get the original head executable
back if you want to use Fink.

The bootstrap script of the source release now checks for this, but
you can still run into it if you use the binary release for
first-time installation or install libwww after you installed Fink.
How do I get the original head executable back? My first backup was
done way after the installation of fink.

Klaus
