Is it possible to fix the explanation in 5.8? It doesn't make sense to find out how to fix problems in the FAQ by looking at the FAQ... :(
I believe both the user's guide and the quick install guide tell you to run fink scanpackages immediately after installing. Besides, it doesn't interfere with working from the source distribution, so it's kind of irrelevant to put here.

I thought I did enable unstable/crypto (the 5.8 instructions include instructions to do it).
Is there something else that needs to be done apart from "fink install" to install it from source? From what I saw, fink updated itself from source without me specifically having to tell it to do so, I cannot see any reason why fink should be completely ignoring the postgresql packages, even as source packages.
fink updates fink and other essential packages automatically as part of a selfupdate.
So your sequence was Enable Unstable -> run "fink selfupdate" ?
