I didn't see this in the FAQ so I thought I'd thow it out there. I initially installed Fink from the source distribution some versions back and hadn't installed many packages from binary. I wanted to install from binary so I did a 'apt-get update' to update the package lists but it came back with lots of errors about not being able to find package files. I found the answer to my problems in the file /sw/etc/apt/sources.list which, as a comment, tells you to run 'fink scanpackages' to update the package lists for all the stuff you installed from source. This did the trick and I was then able to do a 'apt-get update' and start installing binary packages.
