I can't seem to be able to install any packages with fink. Whenever I  
try it gets to the end and spits out the following,

Reading buildlock packages...
/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/ghostscript-
fonts_8.11-3_darwin-powerpc.deb
Can't exec "dpkg": No such file or directory at /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait  
line 70.
lockwait: Exec failed: No such file or directory at /sw/bin/dpkg-
lockwait line 70.
### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 2
Failed: can't install package ghostscript-fonts-8.11-3

If anyone could help, I would be extremely thankful.

What happens when you issue the command

   dpkg --version

?

printenv PATH
