I may be off-base, being relatively new to fink myself, but when I read
that .info file, I saw the following line:

Distribution: 10.7, 10.8

Which means, to me, that this package isn't in the 10.9 distribution
yet. The .info file is on your system because the 10.9 folder is just a
symlink to the 10.7 folder, but if the package's distribution excludes
10.9, fink can't find the actual package to install.

Now, as to why the distribution excludes 10.9, that's something someone
else will have to answer. Based on the fact that many .info files in the
10.7 folder don't have a Distribution: line at all, I would wager that
it was specifically added because there's something in this package that
does not yet work in 10.9. But that's just speculation on my part.
