Aha!  Looking at /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo I see that Safari appended 
.txt to inkscape.info.  Renaming to remove the extension and running fink index 
-f pointed fink to the updated package.  It's building now, but there are a lot 
more dependencies it needs to build first, so it will be some time before I 
know if it builds correctly.  But at least fink sees the updated package now.

Thanks, Alexander.
