Well, I specifically _asked_ one of the core developers about this before putting it on the website, so if it's a "bug" it's something that has never occurred before. The manual fix isn't too terrible: Change "10.3" to "10.4-transitional" in fink.conf and /sw/etc/apt/sources.list wherever it appears. Then try a "fink selfupdate" or "apt-get update". -- Alexander K.
