This fixes a small problem with fink's use of apt-get.
Fink's selfupdate does run 'apt-get update', but what it does is this:
updates via rsync or CVS, forgets and requires the packages, updates the
core packages, runs apt-get update, and is done. This doesn't update
Fink's apt database after running apt-get update! Fink doesn't become
aware of new or updated binary packages until the next index or selfupdate
occurs.
Here's a tiny little patch to SelfUpdate.pm that causes it to call Fink::
Package->update_aptdb() after running apt-get update (assuming apt-get
update exited successfully).

On Jan 5, a patch was applied with log msg:
Do 'apt-get update' *before* rebuilding aptdb during
selfupdate.

No worries. We've been working on the next release of fink
for a while now but unless you know to look in our CVS
repository it's hard to know what changes have been made
since last release (there have been >100 major commits).
OTOH, you're completely welcome to browse our CVS repository.
