The last line shows what it did: Finishing the installation ("Setting
up") of autoconf2.5. That was one of the packages you showed us earlier
it "couldn't batch-install" together with another one.

Since you didn't show the actual error message, I misunderstood in what
phase the installation of that package failed and I guessed wrong what
can be done about it. Aapparently it is not yet built as a *.deb. So you
still have to build it:
fink install gnome-icon-theme
And in case it fails again, please show some more context, so we can
have a better-founded guess of the reasons of the failure.

Without seeing the actual error message, I cannot help you.
What you are showing is not much more than "there was a failure".

I am pretty sure that there was some text just before the one you are
showing, and it tells what packages it thinks should be installed
separately.
What you are observing here is what can happen if Fink is charged to
build and install too many packages at once. And until now the only
additional action necessary from your side was to order that some of
these installation steps be done individually. No breakage, no running
around in circles, even if it may appear so sometimes :-)
