Oddly it seems to have gone away with a
fink selfupdate-cvs
Why is this odd? The files it complained about before were old versions. The problem is fixed in the newer versions that you got from selfupdate.
OTOH, I would consider it on the limit of being a bug that this check is performed every time the package descriptions are scanned by fink and not only when "fink check" is run.
Here's another problem:
% curl -f -L -s -S -O file:///Users/me/arp_warp_6.0.tar.gz
works fine to "download" a tarball from my home directory interactively, but no longer in fink.
How do you get fink to issue this command? What does the "Source" field in your info file look like?
This used to work fine for installations of local things not available for free downloads. Now it fails with the following error messages:
Downloading the file "arp_warp_6.0.tar.gz" failed.

curl -f -L -s -S -O /
curl: (3) <url> malformed
### execution of curl failed, exit code 3
This is just being discussed in the '"master:master:master:master...",huh?' thread. It seems to happen (as the error message says), if the URL of your "Source" field is malformed.
