I tried your suggestion, and while it ran successfully, I'm still seeing

<AKH>The "file not found" errors for updates, or just the dpkg-split errors?
<snip>This is very strange, as my Fink installation on my old machine (OS X 10.2.8) worked like a champ.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks- Joel

All- I recently installed Fink on Panther, and every time I try to do
sudo apt-get update
I get:

If I try sudo apt-get install <packageName>
I get:

It seems that every package I try to install errors out in a similar fashion. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Please reply back if this solves the problem--there have been a number of people reporting dpkg-split errors.
