I think there is no binary version of ghostscript-7 in the released
version of Fink right now (have a look at the list in 
http://fink.sourceforge.net/bindist/dists/fink-0.3.2a/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/ 
)
You'll have to build it yourself or wait a week for the new binary dist.

The package ghostscript6 "Provides" ghostscript, so you have a virtual
package ghostscript installed, and since there is no newer one on the
server, it doesn't do anything.

That's the virtual package.
