Actually, I believe it has some relevance to both.

The latest package descriptions, as of yesterday, are 2.3.9-2, but this should have no bearing on your issues.

Hmm. All of these are in ec-fonts-mftraced. Can you make sure that your version of this is up-to-date and installed?

I've noticed this recently myself, and this is where fink-users and Jeffrey Whitaker come in: It seems that the ps2pdf in the ghostscript (8.x) package exhibits this bug, but not the one in ghostscript6. I had allowed both as alternatives because I thought they were equivalent, but it seems they are not. Is this a known issue, and is there a known fix?

That file should be in:
/sw/share/lilypond/2.3.9/fonts/afm/feta20.afm
but combined with your first problem above, it looks to me like some TeX related environment variables may have been scrambled. Could it be that your shell is not running /sw/bin/init.{sh,csh} properly?
