The fink folk are still going to know this better than I do, but I'll  
give it a try anyway. This looks like one of those confusion cases.  
autoconf2.5 is a dummy package to accomodate upgrades from autoconfig  
2.59 and earlier. The fink package database says it is safe to delete  
it.

Try:
fink install autoconf
fink install gnucash2

the first line ought to force fink to uninstall autconf2.5 if it's  
there, then install the most recent autoconf, which should work with  
gnucash2 and its dependencies.
