Creature from the Fink Lagoon

alright i installed my first application,
micq via fink.
It told me to use the dpkg and it worked out fine.

However, i can't install with fink itself

for example, i enter sudo fink install xpilot
1) it tells me it does not exist
2) it asks me to choose an alternative to satisfy the virtual dependecy's.
next i try fink fetch
same as #1
I've read the man pages and the only thing clear is dpkg

It might only be in binary form - hence the use of dpkg.
"fink list xpilot" to see if in the stable path. If not it could be in the unstable path (not searched by default).

It doesn't say whether it was unstable so I assume it is stable. Fetch worked this time so I downloaded the tar file and expanded. Now i have a folder named
xpilot-4.5.4
