Try installing it with dpkg.
sudo dpkg -i /sw/fink/debs/fink_0.17.1-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
Maybe he was updating from an earlier version of fink. If he had the deb file, "fink install" should have worked.
I must say i wish someone would have tested updating before making such a basic change to fink.
More generally, there should be a big warning sign on the packagers manual page:
If you split a package in two, make sure to propose an update strategy, because automatic updating will probably fail.
