A reinstall only works if you have also changed something else.

This is due to the combination of XQuartz’s changing libXt around and our trying to work around it without forcing people to use a particular XQuartz version.

To work around this problem, as long as you have XQuartz-2.7.11 you can download the libxaw3dxft* files and xfig.info from https://github.com/akhansen/Fink-experimental/tree/master/libXt and save them to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo, and then update libxaw3dxft and xfig.
