Actually both of your systems have problems.  Fink-0.8.0 is what you
should have on Tiger.

Are you using selfupdate with rsync (or cvs) enabled, or just "selfupdate"?

Your "busticated" system looks to be incredibly broken--and your
"working" system still looks not quite right.  It won't see the 10.4*
trees because you're using a version of fink that doesn't know about
them, since that version was old even just before Tiger came out.

If you aren't using rsync or cvs selfupdates, that's a good place to
start--"fink selfupdate" doesn't quite work automagically when you
upgrade the OS version.

And using the 10.4 distribution is not yet supported
officially--you're free to help test it, of course.
