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.
I figured this out, it is a bug in fink, not a permissions error. It happens if you build the same version of a package in one tree, build it in a another tree, then try to build again in the first tree. To work around it, remove the new destination deb file (not the source link)
sudo rm /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/libs/db3_3.3.11 -24_darwin-powerpc.deb
Another way to repro the bug:
fink build cmine sudo rm /sw/fink/debs/cmine_0.0-12_darwin-powerpc.deb sudo ln -s /bah.deb /sw/fink/debs/cmine_0.0-12_darwin-powerpc.deb fink rebuild cmine
Result:
Failed: can't symlink package cmine_0.0-12_darwin-powerpc.deb into pool directory: File exists
