Hello, I just re-installed Fink (0.4) after a long while, and installed the binary distribution and not the source one.
Everything went smoothly, and I updated the /sw/etc/apt/sources.list file to use the new (EU) sourceforge download site. I then ran sudo dselect and got some errors when I updated the package lists: > Err file: unstable/main Packages > File not found > Ign file: unstable/main Release > Err file: unstable/crypto Packages > File not found > Ign file: unstable/crypto Release > Hit http://eu.dl.sourceforge.net release/main Packages > Hit http://eu.dl.sourceforge.net release/main Release > Hit http://eu.dl.sourceforge.net release/crypto Packages > Hit http://eu.dl.sourceforge.net release/crypto Release > Hit http://eu.dl.sourceforge.net current/main Packages > Hit http://eu.dl.sourceforge.net current/main Release > Hit http://eu.dl.sourceforge.net current/crypto Packages > Hit http://eu.dl.sourceforge.net current/crypto Release > Failed to fetch > file:/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/Packages > File not found > Failed to fetch > file:/sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/binary-darwin-powerpc/Packages > File not found > Reading Package Lists...

In the select stage, these are the only packages available to me. It should also be noted that in the priority and section columns there was a question mark, not text (like Req base). apt 0.5.4-1 0.5.4-1 Advanced front-end for dpkg base-files 1.5-1 1.5-1 Directory infrastructure bzip2 1.0.2-1 1.0.2-1 Block-sorting file compress debianutils 1.15-4 1.15-4 Misc. utilities specific to dpkg 1.9.20-1 1.9.20-1 The Debian package manager fink 0.9.11-1 0.9.11-1 The Fink package manager gettext 0.10.40-2 0.10.40-2 Message localization suppor gzip 1.2.4a-6 1.2.4a-6 The gzip file compressor libiconv 1.7-3 1.7-3 Character set conversion li ncurses 5.2-6 5.2-6 Full-screen ascii drawing l tar 1.13.19-1 1.13.19-1 GNU tar - tape archiver Where have the package lists gone???
