First check and see whether /sw/fink/dists exists and is a symbolic link
to /sw/fink/10.2 . If so, then you can clean things up as follows
(courtesy of Ben H):
sudo find /sw/fink -name 'CVS' -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;
fink selfupdate-cvs
If that doesn't do the job, the fink clean uninstall instructions are in
the FAQ at:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#removing.
