Don't blame Fink on this one without strong evidence to the contrary. We deliberately install our files, by default, in a location that isn't used by the system. A Fink update shouldn't affect anything else that doesn't link to Fink-installed libraries. Unless you installed Fink in /usr/local, but then that's your responsibility.
So the possible causes are: 1) inkscape.org's binary had files get overwritten by Fink. This seems not very likely--but if it's the case, that's not our responsibility, since they can install library files in any location they like rather than in /sw. My Mac is offline right now so I can't look into this preently. 2) The X11 update changed something. I'd say this is the most likely cause, and is completely out of our control, since we no longer provide an X11 distribution as of 10.5.
