/sw should only be for Fink. If you're using a third-party app that
installs stuff there, write the developer and tell them not to do that.
We can't say what alternative solutions might be available without
seeing the output of e.g. an attempt to apt-get something. "Not
functioning" can occur for a number of different reasons, and therefore
require different means to rectify them.
My recollection, though, is that for 10.4 -> 10.5, one just needed to
run "fink reinstall fink" to be set up properly, provided that you
weren't on the ancient 10.4-transitional tree.
