These are all because your fink version can't cope with the new package formats. I also noticed that all the commands resembled: --include='10.3/stable/crypto/' even though I'm trying to upgrade to 10.4 (from 10.2)
Afterwards, the version number was 0.7.0.cvs and the package manager version was 0.17.1.
Also, many packages were marked "outdated".
Should I try the "binary install" instead of the update?
I believe those instructions were for 10.3 -> 10.4. I'd recommend a binary update instead;
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
