I've never used ClosestFirst (have always had MasterLast). I wonder if 
the list of debian locations is so long that the try attempt counter 
runs out before it can get to the master mirrors. An easy test would be 
to edit /opt/sw/lib/fink/mirror/debian to leave only 2 or 3 sites, then 
try again.

Or for now temporarily switch the mirror ordering setting.
