The line
~% dpkg --version
says that I have "Debian GNU/Linux `dpkg' package management program version 1.9.20 (darwin-powerpc)' installed.
Fink says that I have version 1.10.9-2 installed, but a new version is available. That is to say 'dpkg' is preceded by (i) in a fink listing. Exactly three packages are preceded by (i), all 'dpkg' related:
(i) apt 0.5.4-8 Advanced front-end for dpkg
(i) apt-shlibs 0.5.4-8 Advanced front-end for dpkg
(i) dpkg 1.10.9-2 The Debian package manager

Vic
