As an addendum, if you do remove any Fink xfree86 packages, then make sure to reinstall X11 and the SDK.

What does "indicating incorrect version of xfree86-shlibs" mean precisely? If you have Apple's X11 installed, nothing should ever mention the package xfree86-shlibs any more. Under no pretext.


When you ran update-all, it told you what packages it would update. It looks like it proposed to update some xfree86 packages such as xfree86-shlibs. You should not have said yes to this proposal.

You really need to eradicate every trace of fink-installed xfree86 packages before this is going to work. You probably by now have a collection of half-installed packages. What gives

dpkg -l xfree86\*

If this shows anything, you need to get rid of it, perhaps with

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all PACKAGENAME

for all the packages that showed up.

Utlimately fails with:

Of course it fails. Trying to install fink xfree86 packages will (and need to) always fail when you have Apple's X11 installed.
