I am trying to get evolution. The fink website says it exists in stable:

Package evolution
Tree Stable Unstable
current-10.3: 1.4.6-10 1.4.6-10
current-10.2-gcc3.3: not present 1.2.4-2
0.7.0: not present 0.6.3: not present (10.2 only)
0.4.1: not present (10.1 only)
I'm not sure why 0.7.0 says it is not present, when current says it is. What is the different between current-10.3 and 0.7.0.
0.7.0 is the "release", that is, a snapshot of the stable tree of "current" at the time when it was made, this one around the end of March. (The next one is due soon, and it should then contain evolution.) "current" is continuously evolving. If you are interested in the precise history of a file, you can look at the cvs log, for example
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/fink/dists/10.3/stable/crypto/finkinfo/evolution.info?rev=1.1&view=log
You see that this file moved to the stable on July 2, long time after the creation of the 0.7.0 release.
The stable release is also the basis for the binary distribution.
When I try a selfupdate to point fink tells me:
You already have the package descriptions from the latest Fink point release.
(installed:0.7.0 available:0.7.0)
If you want the current trees, you have to run selfupdate-rsync or selfupdate-cvs.
Mind you when I try and go to the upgrade section of the website http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/bundled/install.php
I get the message:
Parse error: parse error in /home/groups/f/fi/fink/htdocs/doc/bundled/install.php on line 7
This is a bug that should be fixed shortly.
I try and install evolution and nothing.
Because in your version of Fink it does not exist.
BTW, why did you chose this weird subject line?
