That line says "SelfUpdateMethod: point".
I'm assuming I want it to say "rsync" or "cvs"?

I just installed fink from source on a new installation of 10.5,

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

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
