It will be fixed in fink 0.21.1 which is due out shortly. In the mean time, the vast majority of packages in Fink will still be buildable, just the few that want cctools (= some-version) will fail.

[Fink-beginners] FAQ for unstable
Isn't the answers on question 5.8 in the FAQ a little vague: Q5.8: There's this package in unstable that I want to install, but the fink command just says 'no package found'. How can I install it? If you just want a few packages the way to do it is 1. Copy the *.info and *.patch files from their location in the unstable hierarchy to the corresponding location in the stable hierarchy 2. Run fink index 3. Install IMHO, the FAQ is far to complicated when it describes this process. Feel free to use or be inspired by the steps above if you like to modify the answer to that question. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

And in any case, it's better not to mess with .info files in the stable and unstable trees directly, because it can lead to update problems down the road--the local tree is immune to that. But then I don't know how install a single package from unstable. Maybe you could divide 5.8 into two answers and then split them into a step by step instruction?
