Check if the Trees: line in /sw/etc/fink.conf and the deb sources in
/sw/etc/apt/sources.list are somehow out of sync, i.e. you don't have
unstable turned on in the first file, but you are looking for deb
files from unstable in the second.

It appears that emacs21-nox has a bogus dependency on libncurses5
(which is  headers and a few dylib symlinks) instead of on
libncurses5-shlibs (the real dylibs)
