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)
If you are able to read perl, you have the complete story in the script
/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/VirtPackage.pm. You can see the list of files it is looking for for each virtual package.
2) How to tell fink to update its list of virtual packages
You can't, it is completely automatic.
Fink seems to be stubbornly not recognizing the Apple X11 I've already installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Installing X11 a second time has solved the problem in a couple of cases.
