Hmm. I was hoping that a new version would get downloaded. Unfortunately, the download sites for sourceforge got changed, so you have a bad tarball. Try downloading it manually via the link (packages tarball) on http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/upgrade.php . Unfortunately, I don't know how to make the system use the manually downloaded tarball other than to follow the instructions for updating a really old fink version (untar the tarball and run the inject.pl script that's inside it). -- Alexander K.
