I assume you mean the 0.5.3 bootstrap from the tarball?  That definitely 
won't work...

Panther is not officially supported.

If you want to be able to limp along until we have it officially 
supported, you can bootstrap fink from CVS.  See "Updating the Package 
Manager" at:

   http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/cvsaccess/index.php

Not everything will work, and likely anything you build there will have 
incompatibilities with what gets released officially from Fink as far as 
panther support, so be prepared to start over when we have something 
that's working better.  =)
