Your fink configuration file is still pointing at the 10.3 files and not 10.4. 
You can edit[1] the file /sw/etc/fink.conf and change the Distribution line 
to read:

Distribution: 10.4-transitional

Of course doing this and then running 'fink update-all' will probably update 
everything in your installation. To find out what will get updated, you can 
do 'fink list -i'. Any package with (i) will get updated. 

[1] You'll need to use 'sudo myfavoriteeditor /sw/etc/fink.conf' to edit the 
file. Of course replace myfavoriteeditor with an actual editor command.
