It will fail for users who arent admins, i think.

What do you get when you do:
% ls -la /sw

It should all be owned by root:
Mine is all owned by my administrative username, not root. This would explain why Fink Commander won't run apt-get for me. It complains that apt-get isn't owned by root. I'm using OS 10.2.3 and Fink 0.5.1 (installed last evening). So should I go through and change all /sw ownerships to root? Why didn't this happen when I installed Fink in the first place?

Because there was a bug in the original 0.5.1 installer.

If you don't have anything installed yet you should be able to download 0.5.1.dmg again, and reinstall it. Remove /sw before doing so.
