Now I get an error where dpkg fails on the 'guile' package. Is it possible that this is because the last time I updated guile it was interrupted?
here is what i get:
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/languages/guile-shlibs_1.4-6_darwin-powerpc.deb /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/languages/guile_1.4-6_darwin-powerpc.deb /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/languages/guile-dev_1.4-6_darwin-powerpc.deb

Processing was halted because there were too many errors.

thanks again.

Maybe try deleting /sw/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0010 and trying the update
again. If it doesn't work, post back (on the list, so that we can
maximize the available brainpower looking at this).

What does "head /sw/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0010" return? (so we can see
