Dear Derek, thanks for the report, I think I spotted and fixed the cause of this issue.
But let me point out one thing, lest people get confused about it: There is absolutely no difference between "fink install FOO" and "fink update FOO". The "update" command is simply an alias for "install", and is 100% identical in its functionality. So this was not the cause of the problem you were seeing.
