I don't see a 1.0.4 info file on my system at all, so I'm not surprised you can't install it. I show 1.0.3-5 as the latest stable version, 1.0.3-2 as an alternate, and 1.0.5-4 as the unstable version. The deb file you removed may have been introducing problems, so it may have been for the best. Try doing the 'fink install gnome-vfs' again, and if it doesn't work, do 'fink install gnome-vfs-1.0.3-5'.
