That's a very weird error "trying to overwrite `". If there's a file 
conflict then the conflicting file should show up there, not an empty 
incomplete ` quote set. Are you sure you didn't miss something while 
doing copy/paste of the error?

What happens if you manually run these two commands:

fink rebuild scalar-list-utils-pm5184
fink install scalar-list-utils-pm5184

? That sequence has helped in the past when pm5184 modules were giving 
overwrite install errors on macOS 10.14.5.
