This isn't a Fink-specific issue.  It's an issue with
non-case-sensitive filesystems and installing something that thereby
overwrites a system file.  This one, in particular, will give you
problems with many packages that you build from source, however you do it.

You _can't_ use Fink to fix it, because it's an OS-supplied file.  You
need to copy it from a Mac of the same architecture and OS where it's
not broken, or try reinstalling BaseSystem.pkg from your OS install media.
 
And if you need libwww, Fink has a package for it that doesn't install
files in the system area.
