Very many months ago I installed fink and xfree86 as separate packages. This has worked reasonably until now, but I'm tired of trying to maintain the packages separately and would like to have everything managed by fink.
I assumed that the thing to do would simply be to "fink remove system-xfree86", then to install the base and rootless packages after moving the working (but older) X11 directories out of the way. This does not work, at least in the manner I tried. fink sees many dependancies on the existing xfree86 stuff and refuses to remove the package. And it will not install the regular xfree86 stuff over the top of system-xfree86. Ouch! Is there a procedure to get rid of it so that the new stuff can get installed?
