i guess i just have to change the second occurrence in the file, so that it
reads
} elsif ( -e "/usr/bin/gnutar" ) {
$tarcommand = "/usr/bin/tar $permissionflags
$tarflags"; # Apple's GNU tar
$tar_is_pax=0;
i confirm that doing this fixes the bug and allows 'fink update-all' to
complete the task with no more trouble.
i restored the PkgVersion.pm to its original version - as well as /sw/bin/tar.

no worries - i should have waited some more before updating to Xcode5…
and this is what i'll do for the other Macs i have to update.
thanks again for your quick help
