I just installed fink from source on a new installation of 10.5, and I can't get "fink selfupdate" to work at all.

I configured it to use "point releases" initially, but then got the following results:
curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.28.1' -O 
http://www.finkproject.org/CURRENT-FINK-10.5
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
### execution of curl failed, exit code 22
Downloading the file "CURRENT-FINK-10.5" failed.

I confirmed in my browser that the URL listed doesn't exist.

I then tried switching update methods using:
fink selfupdate --method=rsync
AND
fink selfupdate-cvs

and got this result both times:
Please note: the simple command 'fink selfupdate' should be used for routine updating; you only need to use a command like 'fink selfupdate-cvs' or 'fink selfupdate --method=rsync' if you are changing your update method.


WARNING: Fink does not presently support changing to SelfUpdateMethod "point" from any other method

Running "fink selfupdate" after either of the two previous commands gets me the same 404 error.

Point release is completely useless after a bootstrap. Let's verify that your selfupdate method actually got set. What does the SelfupdateMethod line in /sw/etc/fink.conf
