Yes, it currently doesn't quite behave as advertised.
What you have to do at the moment is to run

   fink selfupdate-cvs

in order to get the updated package descriptions.
Once this has finished (it will in particular update fink itself), you 
can revert to "fink selfupdate-rsync" or continue to simply run "fink 
selfupdate", which will use cvs.
