Well, in trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my fink distribution and why I can't install emacs, I managed to get to realize that emacsen-common was perhaps the problem. The error message suggested that I use "apt-get update" to restore the files that are missing, and this is the result I get from this command:
[nb-minofaar:/Users/payam] master% sudo apt-get update Err file: unstable/main Packages File not found

How seriously bad is my situation, and can it be remedied?
