Dear Clint, My impression is that you did not "enable the 'unstable' tree" _ but have no experience with this type of problems (working always with 'unstable', which is in fact by far the better maintained and 'better' _ not to use stable _ tree)
So I'm cc'ing my reply to fink-devel, there are people there who know this stuff much better than I do, and who will correct me if needed.. To enable the 'unstable tree', you could either run "fink configure", which will ask you a lot of questions I guess, but among them one that allows to enable the unstable tree, or (my suggestion), you just edit PREFIX/etc/fink.conf (where PREFIX stands for the location where you installed fink _ typically "/sw"), and you add in the "Trees" line the items "unstable/main unstable/crypto", (preferably at the end _ priority here is from right to left...). Then you run again 'fink selfupdate", and the pkgs of the unstable tree should show up... Sorry about those complications ...
