i renamed /sw/bin/tar to something else and relaunched 'fink update dpkg' after deleting the previous (tar-bugged) version of dpkg_1.10.21-1238_darwin-x86_64.deb and it now works fine. i presume it's now using /usr/bin/tar instead of /sw/bin/tar - does it mean that /sw/bin/tar is bugged somehow? do you suggest i should selfupdate fink with the same trick, or rather wait until /sw/bin/tar is updated ? jean-francois donati ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
