The message you quoted was from last year. There's a new problem that causes the same symptom--the sudo security update for OS 10.4.9. You need to update to a newer version of the fink package, via a selfupdate with rsync or cvs. If that doesn't update your fink package, then run "fink --version" and see if the Distribution is still 0.8.0. If that is indeed the case you're on the deprecated 10.4-transitional tree and you'll need to update your distribution, e.g. using the update script linked via http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/#2006-07-24%20Reminder%3A%20%2210.4-transitional%22%20Tree%20Unsupported%20on%20August%201st%2C%202006 -- Alexander K.
