Hello everybody!

I tried to install system-xfree86 on my Mac OS X 10.2 system, with French as a default 
language. The command I entered was simply:
apt-get install system-xfree86

The error message says:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  system-xfree86 
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/1924B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

Dépaquetage de system-xfree86 (à partir de 
.../system-xfree86_4.2-1_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...

dpkg : erreur de traitement de 
/sw/var/cache/apt/archives/system-xfree86_4.2-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (--unpack) :
 le sous-processus pre-installation script a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1
Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution :
 /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/system-xfree86_4.2-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Well... I tried purge system-xfree86, then install -f system-xfree86, with the same 
result.

Then I tried:

apt-get install xfree86-base, and the downloading begins! I did not finish it yet, for 
I am connected by modem, and the files are more than 40 megabytes.


Anyway: will this solve the problem? Will X-application work if I install 
xfree86-base? Or will system-xfree86 still be required?

And... Why can't system-xfree86 be installed? Is there a problem with the package or 
is the problem on my system? Has anyone experienced the same?
