Can you run "fink install fink" and do a manual update?
The problem looks like your version of the fink package doesn't support some new syntax that has been added to the files that say "No package name" below.

Under what circumstances do you get these errors? Also, can you please provide your fink version (from "fink --version")?

I was trying to upgrade fink from 10.2 tree to 10.3 (which I have) with _baad_ results. :!
I don't know what caused this, but am now getting errors like:

Seems something inside fink is either buggy or things are just messed up.
What can i do?
