Were you downloading Fink while you were backing up, either with Safari or with some other package?

The Troubleshooting section of the User's Guide goes into detail about how this kind of thing can occur -- note, though, that since you started out full, this log isn't necessarily an accurate picture of what happened when the initial failure occurred.

Sending in a report with the "Send to shirt pocket..." button will give me a better idea, because I'll get your last 10 copies, rather than just this one doomed-to-fail-from-the-start one.
