If you use dpkg, you have to put in the path to the deb, whereas with "fink reinstall" you ust need the package name. Also, in general "fink reinstall" is easier, because if you have to reinstall a package that other packages depend on, it gets handled automatically, whereas dpkg will complain about the dependencies.
