Well, good for you. There is still the question why you and others keep seeing this problem. There was a "window" of less than 3 hours two days ago where this problem could come up for people who were selfupdating then. It was fixed with the release of fink-0.17.3-1. If it came up much later (allowing for the synchronization latency of the rsync and anoncvs servers), there must be some mechanism at work that is yet unexplained. Unfortunately, none of those claiming to have had this problem later, even with fink-0.17.3-1, have given a precise account of what they were doing to get into the problem and out of it.
As far as I am concerned, there is no clear evidence that there should still be anything wrong, and I consider this affair closed.
Alas, it's not completely fixed. I have the current fink package, but it still fails on fink-mirrors.
I tried downloading the fink-mirrors tarball directly and dropping it into /sw/src, but that doesn't help either.
