Eww. 

The initial error was with 
/sw/fink/dists/local/injected/finkinfo/update-packages.  Did that get created 
as a non-directory or something?

The “does not contain a Fink installation” message involves testing that the 
following are present in the Fink path

bin/fink
bin/init.sh
etc/fink.conf
fink/dists

Check if they’re all still around and that /sw/fink/dists points to a valid 
location.
