Thanks for the detailed answer. Things are becoming clearer now. The following might get you out of this: Run
fink install fink-mirrors
This is supposed to work when fink-0.17.3-1 is installed, which is the case for you.
Afterwards, a new "fink selfupdate" should be able to fetch and install the other packages in the list.
I've been following this issue because I have it too, but got it in a different way. I have not upgraded to OS 1.3, but have 10.2.8 instead. I needed to use unstable to repair a package dependencies. Afterward, I notice the mirrors problem just as described here. The solution of installing 'fink-mirrors' is not working. Let me think aloud here: I have fink-mirrors in unstable and the source in /sw/src.
/sw/fink/10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/base/fink-mirrors-0.0.2- 2.info
/sw/src/fink-mirrors-0.0.2.tar.gz
So, if I load fink-mirrors from unstable, then all will be well. Actually this did work. I used Fink Commander to set Fink to unstable, installed fink-mirrors, and then set Fink back to stable.
