The easiest option is a variation of the clean install instructions:
1) get a list of your currently installed packages, e.g. via
grep -B1 "install ok installed" /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status \
| grep "^Package:" | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d\ -f2 > finkinst.txt
2) Back up your Fink tree, for example to /sw.bak/
3) Do a new bootstrap with fink-0.38.2.
4) Once the bootstrap is done you can install the .deb files from
/sw.bak/fink/10.7/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/ and
/sw.bak/var/apt/cache/archives/ by using "sudo dpkg -i <filename>"
I haven't tested yet as to whether you can add your old Fink tree to
your sources.list file in the local modifications section:
deb file:/sw.bak/fink stable main
and optionally:
deb file:/sw.bak/fink local main
deb file:/sw.bak/fink local injected
But that well might help speed up your reinstallation.
