Please note. If you are using the "unstable" package manager versioned 0.17.1 and you are NOT behind a firewall or a developer, please use fink selfupdate-rsync to switch to the now preferred rsync method and then fink selfupdate subsequently. CVS updating is only a last resort method now for users. But you could see is as "deprecated" for general use. selfupdate via rsync _is_ the suggested method now ;)
Right now, selfupdate-cvs is working rather well, whereas the rsync method is still very new, has bugs (*), and still has to prove that it is reliable in the long run. I would warn against relying exclusively on it.
(*) The bug that prevented removal of old files seems to be fixed for hte users in the latest fink, but a similar bug must exist in the mirroring code: The mirror rjk.hr.eu.finkmirrors.net has old info files that lead to annoying warnings. See the thread "Unable to parse the line" on fink-users.
