[Fink-users] dpkg path problems

[Chris Adamson]

Used to use fink, held off after a clean-install of Jaguar, put 0.5.0a on last night, can't do anything because:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
system-xfree86
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/2152B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the
packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors
or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors
above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again
Press enter to continue.

dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.

installation script returned error exit status 100.
Press <enter> to continue.

Not sure what to try next. I've been pretty gratuitous with adding things to my path:

[moogle:~] cadamson% echo $PATH
/Users/cadamson/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin:/Users/cadamson/bin:/usr/ local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/ bin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/cadamson/scripts:/sw/bin:/opt/local/bin:/ Developer/Tools


Any ideas? (please cc me -- I'm in digest mode)
