I have seen on fink-devel:

1) Since some time, I have the following behavior: the interactive prompts
are not displayed when they should, i.e., I have to answer the question
before seeing it, e.g.:

% sudo fink update-all
Password:
The following 2 packages will be installed or updated:
 libtool14 libtool14-shlibs
curl -f -L -O 
ftp://ftp.cs.univ-paris8.fr/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-1.5.4.tar.gz
curl: (19) libtool-1.5.4.tar.gz: No such file or directory
### execution of curl failed, exit code 19
Downloading the file "libtool-1.5.4.tar.gz" failed.

(1)      Give up
(2)      Retry the same mirror
(3)      Retry another mirror from your country
(4)      Retry another mirror from your continent
(5)      Retry another mirror

5
How do you want to proceed? [3] curl -f -L -O 
ftp://ftp.physics.auth.gr/pub/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.4.tar.gz

5 was typed without seeing the question "How do you want to proceed? [3]".

Am I alone to see it? If yes, what should I do? If no, there is probably
something to fix.

2) In some fink versions, in the above situation, there was the possibility
to do the download from the master server, now it is necessary to cycle
through the mirrors until the file is found (for the above example I had to
cycle through 15 mirrors). The penalty to go to the master server is in
general that the download is rather slow, but at least once it's started
you don't have to keep answering questions. Could the previous behavior be 
restored?
