Thanks for the feedback, TheSin; two things in reply:

1). Confirmed that this is a bootstrap installation of the new sierra-alpha-bravo branch. While the machine previously had an earlier fink installation on it, /sw was moved and a new shell was started before starting the bootstrap.  

2). Agreed 100% that the root of the error is indeed in this odd call for fink install; my reason for flagging tar was simply that it had clearly been untar’ed and had its tar.c file modified on the lines before this.  You raise a great point, though — why’s a fink install being called before the bootstrap has finished installing a number of utilities (incl. tar, dpkg)?

Glad to provide more info, etc. as helpful --
Kevin
