Hi there,
I've recently upgraded to Panther, and with this upgrade have moved to using Apple's X11.
However, I'm a bit confused as to what I should do with respect to fink and the way it treats the X11 stuff. I have done a selfupdate and started an update-all. My main aim is to get fvwm upgraded as it seems a little flaky with Apple's X11, however I can't do that as it wants to install xfree86 packages, which conflict with the system-xfree86 package I already have installed. My understanding of this is that this is just a placeholder to indicate that I have a manual X11 (I used to have XDarwin before upgrading to Panther).
<AKH> system-xfree86 is a placeholder for Apple's X11, XFree86, etc, so yes. It's supposed to be automatically installed as a virtual package under current Fink versions.
I suppose I'm really looking for a bit of advice on how to procede with sorting out the X11 stuff using fink. I'm reluctant to fiddle too much, as X11 is the single more important thing on my Mac in terms of the way I work.
<AKH> Let's see what you have: post the results of running (in a terminal)
fink list -i xfree86
to the list, as well as the results of
fink-virtual-pkgs | grep xfree86
