Why the package list from "fink list" is not the same that the one from 
the fink website?

You have to update your package descriptions (selfupdate) to see the 
version listed on the website, as well as to get packages that have 
been released recently.

Also, if you don't have the unstable tree enabled, you won't see all of 
the packages.

That must be it.  I'm self-updating right now.  It looks like it's 
transferring quite a bit.  Thanks!

If by "kind of short" you mean 50 or 60 packages, you need to do a 
"fink selfupdate" and choose a method other than the point release 
(preferably rsync) and get the latest package descriptions.
