The 'files list file' isn't /sw/bin/sbcl.  It's a database file which is
only created when the package is fully installed.  You have a partial
install, probably due to the earlier error you had with smalltalk vs.
libsigsegv2, and that's why fink doesn't show sbcl as installed:  it
doesn't care that /sw/bin/sbcl exists, but that the whole package is
registered as installed.

See if "fink reinstall sbcl" gives you the same error.  If it does, try
using "fink rebuild sbcl" after you've gotten the other issue fixed.
