As Martin Costabel has explained in a previous message it appears that  
msn.wi.us.finkmirrors.net is not working at the moment. You've already  
been able to use sjc.ca.us.finkmirrors.net to rsync the package  
descriptions. The problem with those messages above is that Fink is  
still trying to use the former mirror to download some indices of  
*binary packages*. This is not dangerous; it only means that Fink  
can't check if binary packages are available in the official binary  
distribution.

While we figure this out you may disable binary distributions  
altogether by running

fink configure

and answering N to the question Should Fink try to download pre- 
compiled packages from the binary distribution if available? [Y/n]

The effect of disabling binary distributions is that Fink will always  
build packages from source even if they're available in a binary  
distribution. You can always re-enable that option later by running  
fink configure again.


Cheers,
