1) Don't run fink with sudo. just 'fink selfudpate' and fink will decide if it needs sudo permissions. 2) You've modified/added(?) the files /sw/fink/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/x11/pcb.patch and sci/ngspice.patch and the selfupdate doesn't know how to deal with your files and the ones in the repository, which are too different to mege. Move your files out of the way so that selfupdate doesn't cause a conflict (that's the C at the front of those 2 lines). The proper place for your locally modified files is in /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo, which Fink reads, but never modifies.
