Right.  tar is essential to the operation of fink's tools; we don't use
the system's for various reasons.

The command-line tools do support a downgrade syntax though:

sudo apt-get install tar=1.14-2

You may not actually be looking at fink's libiconv:  dyld can sometimes
be misleading that way.  It's saying it didn't _load_
/sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib, but that doesn't necessarily mean that what it
_tried_ was /sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib.

Verify what fink's libiconv is actually providing by running

otool -L /sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib

That should give you something like (I have libiconv-1.12-3, but my
system is 10.5.6, so my libgcc_s and libSystem.B are probably of
different versions than you will get):

$ otool -L /sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib:
    /sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current
version 7.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 111.1.1)

If, as I suspect, you do get a compatibility version of 7.0.0, too, then
you're going to need to check on your system for other instances of
libiconv.2.dylib, and run "otool -L" on them.
