Fink users,

Thanks Zorro for pointing me in the right direction.

I've got my distribution updated to version 0.4.0, but I'm having trouble
updating the package manager.  Looks like I might be missing a bunch of
stuff.  I hope this isn't a serious problem.

There seem to be problems in two places:

/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/fvwm2-2.4.6-2.info

and

/sw/var/lib/dpkg/updates/

Can I manually download and fill in the missing files?

Thanks for the help,
Matt
