Hi, I've searched the archives and my specific problem does not occur; the suggested solutions do not work.
When I run fink selfupdate it appears to try and install tar but it instead tries to install libiconv and libgettext3-dev: $ fink selfupdate rsync -az -q rsync://master.us.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. rsync -rtz --delete-after --delete -q --include='10.3/' --include='10.3/stable/' --include='10.3/stable/main/' --include='10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/' --include='10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/*' --include='10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/**/*' --include='10.3/' --include='10.3/stable/' --include='10.3/stable/crypto/' --include='10.3/stable/crypto/finkinfo/' --include='10.3/stable/crypto/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.3/stable/crypto/finkinfo/*' --include='10.3/stable/crypto/finkinfo/**/*' --include='VERSION' --include='DISTRIBUTION' --include='README' --exclude='**' 'rsync://master.us.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo' '/sw/fink/' /usr/bin/find '/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main' -name CVS -type d -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/rm -rf /usr/bin/find '/sw/fink/10.3/stable/crypto' -name CVS -type d -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/rm -rf Reading package info...
