I have read the FAQ's and cannot fix my problem. I get the following error when I try and run selfupdate-cvs:

### execution of dpkg-deb failed, exit code -1
Failed: can't create package fink_0.17.1-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
I tried running the command suggested in the FAQs for dpkg-deb failures:
sudo /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/update-package-prebinding.pl -f
but I get a command not found error, and checked and /sw/var/lib/ does not have a fink directory.
Can anyone help? Thanks, Ty
What OS version are you running? fink-0.17.1-1 isn't even allowed on 10.1, and is older than the latest binary versions for 10.2 and 10.3?
