As far as I can tell, the sourceforge mirror names have been changed, and fink
doesn't have a simple way to find out the new mirror names without going to the
old mirror.

The solution that worked for me was to run "fink reinstall fink" (which builds
from source, and hence uses a different mirror), followed "fink configure" (to
select the new mirrors) and then "fink selfupdate".

Alternatively you could try editing /sw/etc/apt/sources.list to use the new
mirror name "bindist.finkmirrors.net/bindist" instead of the old
"us.dl.sourceforge.net"

I'm surprised fink got broken like this. I would have expected the developers to
have handled the mirror change more smoothly. Comments, anyone?
