Apt normally gets updated right when you do 'fink selfupdate-cvs' (since
it's an essential package).

Fink Commander doesn't update its table while compiling, so you may well
have apt and apt-dev installed.  Try running 'fink list -i apt' in a
terminal window.

You probably can go ahead and delete /sw/etc/apt/sources.old
