For further diagnosis of your problem, it's necessary to know the
output of "fink --version" on both your systems.  It sounds like your
PowerPC is (or was) on 10.4 and using the now-deceased
10.4-transitional tree, given that you can't update to a fink that
knows how to enable unstable via "fink configure", and that you've now
confused your Intel machine by pointing it to that tree.
