Isn't it in %p/src? If, for some odd reason, it's not, fink fetch dpkg does nicely. Personally, I think binaries are overrated-- harder to debug.

[Fink-devel] dselect
I have a very simple question. You mention FINK is written in Perl. What is dselect written in? I have been playing with perl for a bit, but recently I have come into a position where I want to get serious. One of things I want to do is build some good interfaces to scripts via a terminal. If dselect is written in Perl, I would _love_ to know how you got the interface...what modules, anything to get me pointed in the right direction. I have written some GUI with Tk, but I want to first start with terminal interface. I am aiming to develop some tools for our group that can be invoked as shell or GUI. I noticed that dselect is in binary...which has me wondering that it might be something other than perl. But the web-site has me wondering. . . . I appreciate the fact that you have many other, more important things to do than answer this. . .but I really love dselect's UI...and if it is written in Perl to boot...then it would meet my needs perfectly. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. Thanks! Ward W.
