Changes were made in the URL structure of the official binary 
distribution after 10.5 support was dropped, and unfortunately those 
broke backwards compatibility.  I don't personally have the time or an 
available 10.5 environment right now to do the testing needed to come up 
with a maintenance update to rectify this.  (maybe if a coalition of 
10.5 users come up with enough money to make it worth it for me to give 
up a weekend I'd be up for moving some virtual machines around to do that)

A couple of workarounds are available:

1)  You can download emacsen-common directly via a browser, wget, curl, 
etc...:

http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/10.5/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/editors/emacsen-common_1.4.15-5_darwin-powerpc.deb

then use "sudo dpkg -i 
/path/to/emacsen-common_1.4.15-5_darwin-powerpc.deb" to install the file.

2)  Use "fink build emacsen-common" to generate a local copy of the 
package.  This local build will take precedence over the binary 
distribution version, so "fink install maxima" should work automatically 
at that point.

emacsen-common is tiny, so 2 is probably better than 1.

You may also want to use "fink configure" to turn off the "use binary 
packages if available" option.  The binaries for 10.5 were generated 
about 7 years ago and most packages have received updates since then.
