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
I did this vary carefully and, having removed /sw/src/X410src-2.tgz, the command
executed perfectly though it appears that the file somehow must have been installed already:

Sorry, xfree86-base is already the newest version.

I still do not know if it was a small bug in fink; whatever, the remedy worked.
Thankyou for your help.
