I don't think inject.pl does everything that a selfupdate would. As
best as I can tell, that just updates fink itself. A few ideas:
Can you get binaries?
Have you tried the cvs-proxy package?
Also, if you can get binaries, you could use an unofficial binary
distribution: http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/item/14

I've read over the link, but couldn't understand how it can effect my
fink selfupdate problem.
Then I reread my post and noticed a typo. It should have read

Sorry for the confusion. Any thoughts?
