Have you examined any of the files? Are the corrupted or, worse, empty?
Have you done a 'fink selfupdate-cvs' lately? If you do one, does it make
the problem go away?

If you're still stuck, you can try something like:

  % cd /sw/fink/dists
  % mv stable stable-moved
  % mv unstable unstable-moved
  % sudo fink selfupdate-cvs

That should rebuild the stable & unstable trees. If it works, you'll have
to go through and move the .deb files from deep into the -moved branches
over to equivalent points in the new copies. This isn't hard, just boring,
as you could have a couple of hundred files to shift around.
