This is true of all fink packages.

Can someone tell me why .info files get committed that are pointing at
sources that are nowhere to be found on the net, or at least not at
the places in the mirror list?

When something gets committed to fink stable or unstable, the mirror scripts download everything (I don't know how often). Until then, there are no mirror files, only the original source files. So if you're set to go to distfiles, it will fail.


If you mean a specific (non-fink-distfiles) mirror doesn't have stuff, please let us know and we'll removed it from the mirror choices. Last I did a spot-check, the mirrors had everything there.
