It didn’t seem all that significant, but I thought I’d ask. Thanks. Looking forward to getting fink fully up and running. I’m liking El Capitan so far. It’s making my 7-year-old MBP a little more nimble.

The error isn’t actually with scanpackages, but with the post-scanpackages attempt to update the package lists on the binary distribution. However, there isn’t a binary distribution for 10.11 right now. Those messages are harmless—apart from potentially causing scripts to fail. If you want not to worry about them, you can run “fink configure” and turn off fink’s integration with the binary distribution. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison
