dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libs/perlmods/date- manip-pm581_5.42a-10_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/sw/share/man/man3/Date::Manip.3pm', which is also in package date-manip-pm
This is a bug in the date-manip-pm package that does not offer a good upgrade path. The simplest way here is to remove date-manip-pm first and then reinstall it:
sudo dpkg -r --force-depends date-manip-pm fink install date-manip-pm
Another hint: update-all is not always the best idea, in particular if you already have some problems. Look at the list of packages wanting an update with "fink list -o" and then pick one or a few of them and do a fink install on them. In the end you should arrive at the same point, but you can separate individual problems, and you avoid overloading the limited intelligence of some of Fink's components.
