Well, I wouldn't necessarily say "wrong".

The 'fink' tool only has information about the packages on the local
system.  So it doesn't distinguish between errors that could be solved
by a selfupdate (e.g. source file checksums) and those that can't.
The source fetch and compile operations are separate modules, and the
latter does have a stock error message suggesting a selfupdate;
there's probably no reason why the fetch stage couldn't pop up such a
message, too.

It's never a _bad_ idea to try a selfupdate, in any case.
