Yes, this is not like Finder aliases. Symlinks contain just some text string that is interpreted as a path to a file, but it can be anything, not necessarily an existing file name.

These and all the following ones are old buggy package descriptions that should have disappeared with some selfupdate. According to cvs log, qt2-g++2-2.3.2-2.info disappeared on 2003/11/08 from the 10.2 trees, it never existed for 10.3. aspell-0.50.2-1.info disappeared on 2003/10/22. You can safely delete all of these. (Actually, you can delete any *.info and *.patch files; the next "fink selfupdate" will bring them back if they still exist in the Fink distribution).
