What command did you run?  

The versions of gnuplot, libssh2.1, libcurl4-shlibs, and libnghttp2.14-shlibs currently in the binary distribution are newer than the versions which you were trying to download, and those older versions aren’t even present.
There is _no_ version of octave382 in the binary distribution currently.  

It looks like your package descriptions are outdated.  Try using “fink selfupdate” and then “fink install octave”.  If you have binary distribution access turned on in fink (which is the default) you will automatically download and install binaries when applicable (present in the binary distribution at the latest version known to fink).
