fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:
(1) freetype2-hinting-dev: TrueType font rendering library, headers (2) freetype2-dev: TrueType font rendering library, headers
Pick one: [1]
There are two variants of the freetype2 (-dev and -shlibs) packages, with or without "hinting". They cannot coexist and you have to decide which variant you want to use. You already have freetype2-shlibs installed, but not freetype2-dev. Choosing [2] here would have avoided the problem, but fink is not smart enough to have realized this.
So you either stay with the non-"hinting" variant and choose [2] or you remove the non-"hinting" variant first. "fink remove freetype2" should be sufficient to let you choose whichever variant you want afterwards.
