done but failed ("no package description" or similar diagnostic)
Maybe "fink reinstall gettext" for good measure

(since we
don't know where the problem comes from, a little voodoo may help :-) ).
so then I tried again with FinkCommander and got an error message suggesting there was a problem with access to the relevant directory (paraphrasing: is it in use by another process?) So did what I am good at - voodo. Repaired permissions, rebooted and successfully updated Fink
Thank you very much. I'm a little wiser and a lot happier.
