Thank you Alexander,

Indeed I upgraded from 10.6 directly to 10.8. Removing and re-installing fink 
solved the problem. As you suggested, I followed the instructions on 

http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/starting-anew/

The correct script to reinstall the packages from instpkgs.txt however is

cat instpkgs.txt | while read pkg
do
  fink install $pkg < /dev/null
done

otherwise fink will flush the inputfile when reading from stdin.

Thanks, Leon
