One thing to check is whether you have update-alternatives. Here's what I get from dlocate (Ben H's package info tool):
% dlocate update-alternatives dpkg: /sw/sbin/update-alternatives dpkg: /sw/share/man/fr/man8/update-alternatives.8 dpkg: /sw/share/man/ja/man8/update-alternatives.8 dpkg: /sw/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8 dpkg: /sw/share/man/pt_BR/man8/update-alternatives.8 See if /sw/sbin/update-alternatives is around. [I think I got the path right this time ;-) ] Alexander K.

Then it tried to install openssl 0.9.6i-2 over openssl097, not what I wanted, but well consistent with the first choice. And finally openssl fails to install with the following error: dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/crypto/binary-darwin-powerpc/openss l-dev_0.9.6i-2_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 127 /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/openssl097-dev.postinst: update-alternatives: command not found dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Selecting previously deselected package openssl-shlibs.
