It turns out that I haven't been running scanpackages explicitly in my 
current update script (posted below). But perhaps it's a symptom? That 
was also occurring prior to fink indexing it's own newer version. It 
went away after I enabled the unstable tree.

Here's the output: http://robertwyatt.info/fink/fink-0.27.16-41.txt
(That page is very long because I also installed scipy and some other 
things yesterday.)

Within the output there are references to a script that I run (the 
command used to invoke it is ./fink)--nothing fancy and I've posted 
versions of it before--but I notice that scanpackages is no longer run 
explicitly by me (maybe fink runs it now, it's been too long for me to 
remember clearly). In case you're wondering, I don't have any packages 
in my local tree on this machine.
