This is the "all your files are owned by 1045" bug. It is fixed in the latest fink from unstable, but it is not supposed to happen anyway.
Go to /sw/fink and do a ls -l. On those files and directories that reveal themselves to be owned not by you or by root (and only debs and override should be owned by root, all others by you), run
sudo chown -R yourloginname directory
The do the selfupdate again.
Thank you, that worked (selfupdate is now building fink-0.18.0.)
