The 0.8.0 distribution has been dead since August of 2006. There's a
script to upgrade from it to the 0.8.1 distribution--"fink selfupdate"
has never actually functioned to change distributions that I can
recall. Check out
http://www.finkproject.org/news/index.php
under the heading "2006-07-24: Reminder: "10.4-transitional" Tree
Unsupported on August 1st, 2006"
