The error is unrelated to geda, and is probably a bug in the geda-gaf
package description within fink. The error is certainly fink-specific.

Try asking within the fink community instead.

If you get nowhere, as a simple workaround, you can probably avoid
the error by first running:

echo "#!/bin/sh" > /sw/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache
echo "exit 0" >> /sw/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache
chmod 755 /sw/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache

..and after that running fink install geda-gaf again.

"postinst" shows that geda-gaf has already been built successfully,
and that the error happens at the very end of the installation.
