Have you looked at the whole output to see if there are any lines that start with a C? Those are frequently the culprits--a file that you modified won't be replaced.

I installed Panther, removed xfree86, installed Apple X11 and tried to
update fink with "fink selfupdate", which, after some fiddling, sort-of
worked.

Right now it consistently crashes as follows...

I'm using cvs because rsynch won't go through our firewall.

Interestingly, after the crash I can do a "fink update-all" and update
all the pacakges that cvs got to before it died.  So I'm pretty up to
date.  But it would be good to get the last little bit fixed....
