No, I talked to Dave on irc about this, and we realized the
problem was that the version of fink that knows about 10.4 never
made it into 10.3/stable. Only the unstable distribution had this,
so even though you did a selfupdate, that fink would never know to
change the distribution line.
To avoid such problems in the future, I wonder if fink could be
made smart enough to recognize when it is installed on an OS
version that is newer than it knows how to deal with. It could
then post a message like "This version of fink is too old for this
operating system, and it is not possible to use fink self-update.
Please visit the Fink web site at http://fink..... for instructions
to fix the problem."
It just so happens that a feature like this is being worked upon, but
it didn't get done in time for the mass 10.4 upgrade because we found
out about the changes made so late in the game.
