Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce this. It may be a locale issue.
If you have a moment, could I get you to put /sw/bin/tar back in place
and modify /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm to replace
$cmd = "dpkg-deb -b $ddir ".$self->get_debpath();
with
$cmd = "env LANG=C LC_ALL=C dpkg-deb -b $ddir ".$self->get_debpath();
and then try "fink rebuild base-files"?
We set LANG and LC_ALL for unpacking already, because of issues where
the tar command can lock up, so I'd like to see if it might help here.
