Any Fink package should only look for a Fink TeX package, and we have:

$ fink show-deps dblatex
Information about 11857 packages read in 4 seconds.

Package: dblatex (0.2.12-1)
To install the compiled package...
  The following other packages (and their dependencies) must be installed:
    docbook-dtd (>= 4.1.2)
    libxslt-bin
    python25 (>= 1:2.4.3-1001)
    tetex-base
...

$ fink show-deps dblatex
Information about 11857 packages read in 4 seconds.

Package: latex2html (2002-2-1-4)
To install the compiled package...
  The following other packages (and their dependencies) must be installed:
    ghostscript | ghostscript-nox
    netpbm-bin
    tetex-base
...

and the TeX executables are found in an unmodified Fink tree.

You appear to relying on local modifications to your Fink tree to find
a TeXLive version which was installed by other means than Fink, and
that isn't supported by the project.  We don't support interfacing
with arbitrary third-party installs of other packages in part because
it becomes too difficult to provide reproducibility.

Also, if you modified your user account's PATH to point to your TeX
installation, Fink ignores that, deliberately.
