Hmm--this looks like it's not creating the symbolic link in /sw/fink/debs. What are the permissions of /sw/fink/debs? And what happens if you try to do the operation manually:
sudo ln -s /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libs/db3_3.3.11 -24_darwin-powerpc.deb /sw/fink/debs/db3_3.3.11-24_darwin-powerpc.deb

is it the expected answer?

Both seem to behave correctly--what that "can't symlink package" message means isn't obvious. The only other thing that I can think of is to check the permissions of /sw/fink/debs/db3_3.3.11-24_darwin-powerpc.deb.
