It updates whatever you have in your Trees path in /sw/etc/fink.conf. If
you are going to use packages from unstable, the two best approaches seem
to be to either
* copy the package[s] from /sw/fink/dists/unstable/$path/package.info
to an equivalent /sw/fink/dists/local/$path/package.info
* add unstable path[s] to your fink.conf: unstable/main unstable/crypto
Once you've copied the files to local/... &/or updated fink.conf (the
approaches aren't mutually exclusive), then re-run fink and it should
work.
