[]When I use Fink Commander to update package descriptions (Binary > Update descriptions), I get the following err msg:
Ign file: unstable/crypto Release Err file: unstable/main Packages File not foundW: Couldn't stat source package list file: unstable/main Packages (/sw/var/lib/apt/lists/_sw_fink_dists_unstable_main_binary-darwin-powerpc_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead
What does this mean (aside from the obvious: that there is no such file or directory)? How do I fix this?

Thanks Martin. This basically tells me to run "fink scanpackages" but I still get this when I try to update descriptions:
