I tried to copy the binaries from my backup just now for dpkg and apt-get (only those essential files) and it *seems* working ... however, since my colleague also replaced my fink tar by some other tar, the installation for other packages failed. Since I don't have other people using Fink nearby, can someone let me ftp a copy of Fink tar?
Many thanks. I am really eager to get Fink back to work.
Cordially, Jung-Tsung

Hi,
Thanks again for the reply.
printenv PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/ powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
which dpkg dpkg: Command not found.
which apt-get apt-get: Command not found
There seems no binaries for each of them I can install from Fink Commander ...
There seems to be something *very* wrong with your installation. Does anybody on the list have an idea how to recover such a situation? I fear that you have to remove the hole fink installation and reinstall it.
<AKH> I'd say Remi's right--you need dpkg to do any package operations. The only way around it that I can think of would be to copy a working /sw from another computer.
Cheers, Remi
