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.
