[Fink-beginners] dpkg fails upon installing libpng

[Individual . . <ind...@mi...>]

Hi.

This is the last chunk of info written out before things stopped  
happening.

libpng3_1.2.5-2_darwin-powerpc.deb

So, this seems to be an issue with libpng and libpng3.

My fink is:

Package manager version: 0.11.1
Distribution version: 0.5.0a.cvs

Any suggestions?
