Hi.  According to the package database, xdvi is at version 22.64-1 in
both 0.5.0a and current-stable.  Also, if you consult

http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.5.0a/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/

you'll see that the version in the binary distribution is also 22.64-1.
I'm not sure why you got a more recent version; perhaps apt-get was
finding a local deb file on your system?

It's true that the sourcefile needed for building 22.64-1 from source is
no longer available at the upstream site.  The sourcefile for the unstable
version *is* there, though... and for packages which are available in
binary form in 0.5.0a, the sourcefile is always available at

http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/source

so in this case,

http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/source/xdvi-22.64.tar.gz

This last trick (grabbing the sourcefile from our bindist download site,
in a pinch) is not so widely known... maybe it should go in the FAQ.
