Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and
/sbin.
E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

so, I opened a terminal and typed
[h24-86-197-242:~] markian% which update-rc.d
/sw/sbin/update-rc.d
so, what's the problem?! Clearly update-rc.d IS in fact in the path.
gee, I sure see why fink is so popular. </sarcasm>
Sorry if I seem irritated, but this is exactly why I avoided installing
fink for so long.... nasty user experience. I'd be happy to see the
light here, if only someone will un-blindfold me and point me in the
correct direction!
