But my other 10.9.5 system gives similar results. So I ran Xcode as a guess and it had me agree to the license (it was recently updated and I had forgotten to update the license) and went through "Installing Components" which was a little surprising since the Command Line Tools had already been updated by the App Store. In any case that seemed to do the trick. Fink updated successfully and all is well with the world again. Thanks!
