Man, it was awk. That was the cause of it all. I think fink should ship with its own version of awk! Please!
Last week I had replaced awk with gawk, and then tried a fink selfupdate. The result was that dpkg got corrupted. Even worse, today, when I replaced the correct version of awk, "fink rebuild dpkg" still wasn't working, because the fink build script uses the *old* version of dpkg to update to the new version! The solution, an ugly one but it worked: hit ctrl-c during the "fink rebuild dpkg" process *after* configure is done. Go to the src/ directory where it was building. Then do a "sudo make" and "sudo make install." That will install dpkg in the correct place without needing the old version of dpkg. I would just like to say, AARGH. --- Martin Costabel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On lundi, nov 17, 2003, at 14:32 Europe/Paris, > Andisheh Mahdavi wrote: > > > Thank you for answering!
