They're two separate commands and you should replace <packages> with the list of packages that the 'fink list' command shows as installed. From the list output, if a package is preceeded by "i", it means that it is installed and up to date, "(i)" = installed but newer version available, and nothing means not installed. If you tell it to remove all the packages on one go, there's a chance that it will fail in a similar way to your original message. If that's the case, just do each package individually until they're all gone and then try doing the reinstall.
