It is, for everyone else ;-)

You must have some specific situation on your machine that does not 
allow fink to recognize that there exists a newer package description 
for the "fink" package. According to what you have shown, you do have 
the package description for fink-0.28.5-41, but your fink is version 
0.27.16-41 and it thinks it is up to date.

This is clearly impossible ;-) , at least on a sane system.

Some detective work is needed for finding out what is particular with 
your system. For example:

Do you have any strange or unusual constructions in your ~/.cshrc or 
~/.bashrc or other shell startup scripts?

I suspect this because of the line

> 2.176u 1.560s 8:34.00 0.7%    0+0k 600+521io 337pf+0w

in one of your earlier messages, which comes from a `time` command, but 
there was no such command on the command line (at least on the line you 
showed us).
