fink list -i xfree86
and post the results to the list. That way we'll know what's installed and be able to tell you exactly what to remove.

Hi
not so long ago, I decided to try OpenOffice on my G4 laptop. I installed Apple's X11, then OpenOffice, and all was happy.
Then I installed Fink, and FinkCommander, and tried installing a few other packages (such as Links). Still everything was OK.
Then I decided to install gnubg. FinkCommander stopped to indicate that there was a dependency and wanted to install system-xfree86. OK I said.
But the install failed. This was the message:
dpkg: regarding .../system-xfree86_4.2-11_darwin-powerpc.deb containing system-xfree86:
system-xfree86 conflicts with x11
xfree86-base provides x11 and is broken due to postinst failure.
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/system- xfree86_4.2-11_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing system-xfree86
Errors were encountered while processing:
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/system- xfree86_4.2-11_darwin-powerpc.deb
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package system-xfree86-4.2-11
Having looked at various faqs and such, and trying the various suggested fixes (removing and reinstalling xfree86 or x11, etc.) I am now at the point where I cannot remove xfree86, and X11 won't open a window.
Can anyone suggest how I should proceed from here?
Please?? --
