The only thing I remember is that fink had updated the mirror list 
recently, and just since that update I get these error messages.

Thanks for this advice.

Hmm, changing to unstable would only be the final option to me (or maybe 
that second final one - the very final one woule be to do a complete new 
installation of all the fink stuff). I tried a few years ago and ended up 
with the need to revert to a (thankfully made directly before) backup of 
the /sw tree. This has been before my mailing list subscription.

Since I am planning to buy a new computer in the near future I'll thinking 
of setting the unstable tree as the default from beginning on to avoid 
that mess.

Unless I get further problems due to an incomplete update I therefore 
prefer to leave it now as it is and try an update from time to time. You 
know - never change a running system ;-)

Best wishes,

Ingo
