I believe Fink looks directly at the installed files, and the virtual package won't be generated if you are missing the file(s) that it targets. Others who've had this problem before found that reinstalling X11 and its SDK solved the problem--it's seems as though the installer can be flaky.

I'm using Fink 0.18.0, Mac OS 10.3.2 on a Powerbook 15" FW 800.

When I installed Panther and XCode, I was careful to install Apple's X11 as
well as the developer tools X11 SDK package. However, when I run
fink-virtual-pkgs there is no entry at all for system-xfree86. I've looked
around in the help on the web to find out more about virtual entries and
haven't been able to figure out:


1) How fink maintains its list of virtual packages (what does it look at to
trigger a table entry - my only idea is that maybe it looks at
/Library/Receipts)
2) How to tell fink to update its list of virtual packages


Fink seems to be stubbornly not recognizing the Apple X11 I've already
installed.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Eric
