That's the infamous HEAD vs head problem on HFS filesystems--there's a Perl module that wants to install /usr/bin/HEAD, and it overwrote your /usr/bin/head:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php#head Martin Costabel has graciously posted (at least as of September 16 of this year) a copy of the correct /usr/bin/head at http://perso.wanadoo.fr/costabel/head -- Alexander K.

Issuing " fink install pdfslide" fails. I am using Package manager version: 0.13.7 and Distribution version: 0.5.3.cvs I have a preexisting latex installation (from fink: TeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159 ). The log states "No compile needed" but perhaps it does after all? Any insight is appreciated. thanks, Avram Output prior to fail listed below: ----------------------------------------------------------------- sudo /sw/bin/fink install pdfslide Password: Information about 1312 packages read in 2 seconds.
