There is a --force-not-root option to dpkg; I'm not sure about
dpkg-deb.
All I know is that I've used the user patch that's already on our
patch tracker successfully on lamancha.opendarwin.org until a
selfupdate wiped it out.
I've just added this to my dpkg lines in PkgVersion.pm and its
Ok, so I've added the non-root force option to the dpkg line, but now
dpkg fails when changing the user from 'fink' to 'fink'? iThink that
part of it might be the group, its trying to assign 'wheel'... Well,
I'll keep y'all posted. If you wanna help, here's my patch so far:

Dave, I definitely did not have unstable/crypto in the trees: line of the
fink.conf file. That must be the problem, so many thanks.

IMHO there should be *no* package that makes *anything* SUID root that
I (the user) don't know about, thus those packages that require
something like that should be modified on a per-package basis (for
these packages something like 'sudo make...' would work fine).
True in principle, and
I installed fink fresh from the 0.14.0 tarball.
When I add the unstable trees and use the rsync method for update it
fails.
The reason is that fink says:
mkdir 10.2/unstable/main
however, 10.2/unstable does not exist and therefore the main
directory can not be made inside of it.

At this point I think it would be useful to consider _why_ user-mode fink

Actually *at this point*, the most important consideration in getting

Martin,
If I uncomment that line, fink gives a circular dependency error. As is

The whole line is not needed, just gettext-dev. After installing

Dear developers,
I'm updating some of my fink packages (first of all sci/root3). It is
not clear to me how I should handle the package updates and submissions
for the different trees.
Is it mandatory to have the same package versions in both 10.2 and
10.2-gcc3.3 tree? If I would like to move

Not so. At work I lack root on many of the *nix boxes I use, so I
