You've got two separate errors going on:
1) The "File not found" messages can be fixed by running "fink scanpackages".
2) Your preexisting error.
Unfortunately, you may have to wipe /sw and start over (but you might well have had to do some rebuilding for 10.3 anyway. Make sure to run "fink selfupdate" immediately after you reinstall and this problem shouldn't happen again.
And after you reinstall, run "fink scanpackages" so that if you ever use the binary distro, it won't give you the "file not found" messages.
I wish I had a better solution for you.

Thanks, Alex for all your help. Am I experiencing an "invalid user error" ;) or a genuine bug here? Meaning, you don't have to worry about me all too long (thanks for this, though :).
1. The lines were there.

Does not look too good, does it?

Basically, what happened is that
1) You updated from the 10.2-gcc3.3 to 10.3 tree
2) There were changes made recently in the fink package that are incompatible with the version you have.
One more thing to try: make sure that /sw/etc/apt/sources.list has lines like this in it:
# Official binary distribution: download location for packages
# from the latest release
deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download 10.3/release main crypto
# Official binary distribution: download location for updated
# packages built between releases
deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download 10.3/current main crypto
Then use "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install fink" to update fink to the version in the 10.3 binary distro (18.3-1). That should be upgradable to 0.20.2-1, which is what you need.

Perhaps I need to start all over (remove /sw) but why..? I'd like to have "fink selffix" or even "analyze" or something? :)
