Thank you. I have also been chatting on freenode #fink. Someone there suggested that I try
"sudo /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/update-package-prebinding.pl -f"
this fixed the problem.
Apparently it is a "prebinding" bug. I do not really know what that means.
Thank you for your swift response.
Do you think that it would be appropriate to send a message to the list giving both solutions?
Yours, Lorenz

The problem is indeed with /sw/bin/tar. You'll need to install a new tar
package via the binary distro:
sudo apt-get install 1.13.25=1
(apt-get uses '=' for the revision number)
That should hopefully get you a working tar.
I believe the error on sao's page was for Panther. -- Alexander K. Hansen Levitated Dipole Experiment http://www.psfc.mit.edu/LDX �

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Dear people,
It seems that tar cannot untar some of the tar-files that fink downloads when it updates itself. There has been a post on the fink beginners list about this problem with unzip550.tar. It occurs with other tar files as well. Here is what happens when I try to untar audiofile-0.2.3.tar
boskoop:/sw/src# /sw/bin/tar xf audiofile-0.2.3.tar Bus error
With Apple's tar there are no problems: boskoop:/sw/src# /usr/bin/tar xf audiofile-0.2.3.tar boskoop:/sw/src#
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Maybe it's dependent on the machine; I am using a powerbook G3 (bronze keyboard).
Is this related to the bus error that fileutils (e.g. ls) generated due
to something in gettext ? (See
http://homepage.mac.com/sao1/fink/finpan.html#top23)
This problem only occurred after the selfupdate.
Here are the versions I use: fink 0.17.1, using the unstable branch tar 1.13.25-11 OS X 10.2.8
Bye, Lorenz
