I had another look at it today and it seems to be resolved. OS X 10.12.3, fink 0.41.1 and dpkg 1.10.21. If this is true, the issue can be closed.

Reinstalling or replacing a package with an application bundle fails with:

    /sw/bin/dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/PACKAGENAME.deb (--install):
    unable to make backup link of `./sw/Applications/BUNDLENAME.app/Contents/PkgInfo' before installing new version: Operation not permitted

At the moment the solution is to remove the package before reinstalling or installing the replacing one.

There were statements in the discussion on irc that a new version of dpkg might fix it.
