What errors do you get when you try "apt-get install package"?
The messages you show below are pretty normal. They are not real error messages.

This means your apt-get database is up-to-date with respect to the fink
release on the sourceforge server. You should be able to install all
binary packages from there using apt-get.

These messages concern your local information about packages you
compiled yourself. If you want to correct this, run "fink scanpackages".
