Hi, I apologize first since the *similar* problems have been encountered by many users. I've searched the archives, and already tried *some* of the solutions suggested but still in vain.
Recently I have had problems installing packages using Fink Commander (V. 0.5.1 for Mac OS 10.2.8). I always got the following error message (for example):
dpkg-deb -b root-apt-0.5.4-25 /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base
Can't exec "dpkg-deb": No such file or directory at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 398.
### execution of dpkg-deb failed, exit code -1
Failed: can't create package apt_0.5.4-25_darwin-powerpc.deb
I've tried
sudo /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/update-package-prebinding.pl -f
and here's what I got
/sw/sbin/seg_addr_table: from seg_addr_table: /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/seg_addr_table.tmp line: 20 can't open file: <<<
Seems that you seg_addr_table got corrupt. Try running 'sudo rm /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/seg_addr_table*' and then again 'sudo /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/update-package-prebinding.pl -f'.
HTH,
