I apologize if someone already posted a solution for this, but
I couldn't get anythink that others posted to work.  Here
is what I did to get my fink distribution working:

Edit the /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Engine.pm file (you will have to use
sudo if not root).

In my file, lines 976-977 read:
        #add a link
        pushd @$item, $deps($dname);

Comment out the second item:
        #add a link
        #pushd @$item, $deps($dname);

and then run

> fink install bzip2-shlibs 
(I am recalling that one from memory.  I think any of the 4 involved
in the circular dependency will work.)

It now should compile those files for you.  Once it finishes, you
should probably remove the comment.  Then you can run

> fink selfupdate

This seems to have made everything work for me. 

Good luck,

John
