Yes, you did.  Check the information below from your system.

The error with libvpx is completely separate from the fink package.

libvpx is known not to work with Xcode 6.3.  We have been switching packages to use an updated version, libvpx14, which does work.  Unfortunately, “fink update-all" will still fail if libvpx is installed.  We can’t remove it until no other packages use it.

See if you can just remove libvpx, which doesn’t need to be installed at runtime for anything,  and then try to update your remaining packages.  The one major package that is still using the old libvpx is ffmpeg.  If you have that installed, then I suggest checking in with the ffmpeg maintainer about the possibility of switching that over.
