I've removed the aforementioned files (as far as I can tell). Now, I'm getting the following after a few hours scrolling. Thus the infinite, To be with Apple x11, or Not To Be with Apple x11. -That- is the question: --- You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11. This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to install xfree86-base again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
