Well that is a file used if you installed port2audio package.  My guess =
is that it is left over after an upgrade from some previous installation =
or something.  I suggest you delete the file and try again which is what =
git is telling you.

I don=E2=80=99t thing Time Machine backs up /opt directory where fink =
stores things so that may not be much help.  But YMMV.  You can check =
your backups if it matters.  Did you restore a backup lately?
