<AKH> it looks like you have a partially installed xfree86 package--"fink list" doesn't show it, but apt-get and dpkg know about it. You'll need to remove it with


dpkg --remove --force-depends xfree86

and then reinstall the X11User and X11SDK packages one more time--since dpkg may remove files that you need.

Sorry about that--I completely forgot about the partially installed package issue, or I would have had you remove xfree86 as well the first time.
