Re: Updated dpkg and apt in my experimental

Oh and I almost forgot, fink would require dpkg and dpkg-dev in this new setup so those testing need to install both of those.

I couldn't not see why or what effects, not to mention that entire process changed lots from 1.15 to 1.16 so I removed it and everything seems fine.  If someone knows why it was there or a way to test if the new version even still requires it please let me know.
