You haven't provided any information about your system, so I'd guess  
it's because:

* arpack is only available on the unstable tree. The following FAQ  
entry explains how to enable that tree:

http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable


* You might be stuck at the point release (July 2008 IIRC) and maybe  
arpack was released after the point release. Using either rsync or cvs  
for selfupdate should bring you up-to-date. The following FAQ section  
explains how to change from point to rsync or cvs:

http://www.finkproject.org/faq/upgrade-fink.php

I've written an article that explains these point, rsync, cvs  
selfupdate options:
