This looks strange:  y.build/base-files-1.9.8-1/base-files-1.9.8

Something appears to have gotten mangled in your initial configuration
(perhaps you hit 'y' at the "Which directory should Fink use to build
packages?" prompt during the initial configuration).  Perhaps this is
confusing fink.  The default here is "/sw/src/fink.build"

Try running "fink configure" again, and also set the verbosity to
maximum so that if the problem is indeed a gzip or tar error that
message will be more likely to show up.
