Hi there,

I just opened a fresh pull request for fink.git, which updates the versions of gettext-tools, libgettext8 & libiconv used for bootstrap to the latest, and also removes libgettext3, debianutils and sensible-utils from the bootstrap. Moreover, it contains some small fixes and tweaks. This is part of the bigger effort by Justin and others to get us switched to dpkg 1.16, consider it as some proportional steps You can find the pull request here:

https://github.com/fink/fink/pull/80

Both eyeballing the changes and actually testing the code (bootstrap, injecting) on various system would be helpful. So far, I only tested it on my MBP, running 10.7 / 64bit. Any comments are welcome, preferably as comments on that pull request, but of course you can also email.

Note that if we merge this, we also need to remove the "essential: yes" from debianutils and sensible-utils in dists, as they are no longer installed during bootstrap! I think this shouldn't cause any problems, but if you can think of any reasons why it might, please let me know.

Finally, if you haven't seen it yet, you may also wish to look at (and comment on) my refactored version of Justin's dpkg 1.16 pull request, of which the PR #80 I described above is a subset:

Cheers,
Max
