Let me state clearly: The type of problem you are seeing has never been
observed before (I should of course add "as far as I know", but I have
been around for a long time, and I would remember if this had ever been
reported on a Fink mailing list).
There have been cases where an old version of fink refused to run
selfupdate successfully. For example, if your fink were too old (older
than 0.26.2) to know about the "Info4:" field, it would not see the new
version of fink. But your case is different.
I still suspect your ~/.cshrc. If you don't want to share it, please
test for yourself; try the following:
1. Move it out of the way:
mv ~/.cshrc ~/.cshrc_away
2. Create a new one that knows about Fink:
/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh
Then open a new Terminal window.
3. Now look if things have changed:
fink index; fink list fink
4. At the end, move your ~/.cshrc back
mv ~/.cshrc_away ~/.cshrc

I doubt it, unless you identify the source of your problem and remove it
first.

There is an entry in the Fink FAQ, #5.6, explaining this.
