I see, this might indeed indicate a small bug in Fink. From your 
output my guess is that it deletes the wrong source file. So try to 
delete the correct (probably broken) source file:

   sudo rm /sw/src/X410src-2.tgz

Then try your install again. Or alternativly, install it via apt-get:

  apt-get install xfree86-base
  apt-get install xfree86-rootless


Cheers,

Max
