Martin,
Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been sick. I promise to stick around.
Thanks for this. I hope you are better now.

I couldn't reinstall the binary of cctools-extra because I already have the latest version of it and it tells me that. Can I remove it and then re-install the binary? Will removing it do anything bad?
I was thinking about "fink reinstall" first which, if the binary is still around, just installs it from there without recompilation. Since it is an "essential" package, removing it will probably do something bad unless you reinstall it immediately.
I tried compiling the newer version and I get the same error message:
Writing dependencies...
Writing package script postinst...
dpkg-deb -b root-cctools-extra-495-1 /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base
### execution of dpkg-deb failed, exit code 10
Failed: can't create package cctools-extra_495-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
Ok, so now I checked the path and ran the command to fix the prebinding...
I tried compiling cctools-extra and bingo, it worked! Thanks.
OK, so we can say now that the combination of the two remedies will work. Actually, it appears that it is the prebinding-fixing command that made dpkg-deb work in the recompilation of the cctools-extra package, so
maybe the latter was not necessary after all.
I guess I don't have to stick around too long... :-)
Now I'm updating all the outdated base files...
Hmmm. Mayhap I spoke too soon. Maybe I shouldn't have selected like ten different packages to update at once. Anyways, it just bailed with the following error message:
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/c++/bits/basic_string.h:591: error: `__pos2' undeclared (first use this function)
I haven't seen this one yet. Is this the first error message or are there others before that? No "file something.h not found"?

This doesn't sound good. Is there something wrong with the permissions of your /tmp directory? I get
% ls -lad /tmp /tmp/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 11 28 Oct 12:44 /tmp -> private/tmp drwxrwxrwt 116 root wheel 3944 14 Jan 16:42 /tmp/ []
I hope this e-mail has been helpful.
Yes, thanks.
Thanks,
Philip
p.s. To the author of FinkCommander - maybe you should add a menu item that fixes the prebindings using the command below? And it would be really cool if FinkCommander could see the error message and suggest running the command as well - or perhaps Fink could detect this and fix itself?
Until something can be done, we will keep this in the coolective memory. []
