Sorry for the delay.  I was away from 'net access for a while.
Replying to the list rather than directly to a particular respondent
reduces the need for a particular person to be available.

That would mean that you didn't do my step 1), which was to update
your fink.  You've got a CVS version of fink which was injected in
October 2009, and it therefore can't  know anything about the changes
in Java from October 2010.   The 0.29.15 version of fink mentioned in
news on www.finkproject.org as solving this issue is newer than what
you've got on your system right now.

I'm not sure exactly why you're using a CVS checkout of fink, but one
thing to keep in mind is that it doesn't automatically update via
selfupdate.  You have to update it manually.

You might consider downgrading to the release version via

fink install fink-0.29.15-51.

and thereby ensure that you get updates via selfupdate.

As above, "selfupdate" doesn't update CVS versions of the fink tool.

 "scanpackages" will do absolutely nothing to help you here, because
what it does is allow the binary tools (e.g. apt-get) to see packages
that you built.  It gets run by default after every build operation,
anyway.
