I don't follow here. What did you try and what result did you get? From what you wrote one could conclude that you did one of

and you got

This is impossible.
Now I can't find fink.conf to see if the new paths to the stable and unstable trees are there. Was this meant to be deleted? Or have I just lost the damn thing.
You mean you don't have a file /sw/etc/fink.conf? If you didn't destroy it deliberately, your postinstall.pl script must have done something bad, and it probably talked about it. What do you get from
sudo /sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl
Sorry. Feel I'm running in circles...
This happens. But try to keep your eyes open, anyway.
