Hi,
when I try
fink selfupdate
there is a smaller bug and a critical error:

1) Bug: I first get an error message "LATEST-FINK" already exists,
delete/continue/skip. This should not appear, because that file should
always be overwritten.

2) CRITICAL: Then fink tries to download

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/packages-0.4.1.tar.gz

Unpacking gives the error "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format".
The reason is that the URL is redirected to an HTML page which shows a
list of mirrors!

This new sourceforge setup (which I personally do not like much, I would
prefer a redirection based on the IP address) breaks fink totally. I don't
know the easiest way to fix it, though.

I could not use the bug tracker because I have no account there and no
cookies enabled either, so I could not log in.
