What is worse, there is actually a FAQ entry, but it is 2 years old. On the bug tracker there is a current case (#1073405) of someone who got stuck at fink-0.17.1-1 and who downgraded now to fink-0.11.1-1, apparently by following this FAQ entry. It is FAQ#5.22 "I can't seem to update Fink's version" with a link to "special instructions" at http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/fix-upgrade.php.
Nothing there tells that this is from early Jaguar age and shouldn't be followed by people who have Panther installed (nor by anyone else who hasn't fink circa 0.11/0.12 installed).
I think this needs to be fixed soon. It is perhaps sufficient to replace 0.5.3 by 0.7.1-updates and 0.11.1-10 by 0.22.4-1 in these instructions, but Dave would know better, having written some of these instructions on the lists recently.
