It seems that emacs needs to be installed to install gnuplot texi documentation, and gnuplot needs to be installed to install emacs26-app. I tried to get bootstrapping to work by installing emacs26-nox, then gnuplot, which produced the error below. gnuplot-minimal had already been installed, so I guess I could try removing that before attempting to install gnuplot.

Leigh,

emacs26-app doesn't depend on gnuplot. I think that part of the output 
is a red herring. emacs used to provide a mode file for gnuplot, but 
then it got split off and now it belongs to gnuplot (since it makes more 
sense there).

I think the real error is in emacs26-app trying to find the buildtime 
directory 
'/sw/src/fink.build/root-emacs26-app-26.3-1/sw/share/emacs/26.3/etc/charsets'. 
I don't know why the emacs26-app postinstall scripts are looking there 
since I don't speak emacs.

A suggestion would be to remove all gnuplot and emacs variants, then run:

fink rebuild emacs26-nox
fink reinstall emacs26-nox
fink rebuild gnuplot (which ever variant you want).
