To quote from the website:
This [web] database lists all available Fink packages. It knows about
the "stable" tree of the latest release and about all packages in
CVS ("current-stable" and "current-unstable"). Note that some packages
are only available in the "unstable" tree.
Read this: The above means that a default install of Fink will not
recognize some packages listed here. That is because those packages
are in a section of the archive called "unstable" because they are
not well-tested. [...] In order to test the packages, you need to
configure Fink to use unstable and then download the latest
descriptions by running fink selfupdate-rsync (or fink selfupdate-cvs
if you can't use rsync for some reason).
