It is really weird.
The error message I got was as follows:
You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11. This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
When I try to install emacs21 (fink install emacs21), then fink tries to install xfree86 and xfree86-shlibs before installing emacs21, and while installing xfree86 the above error message shows up.
