I tried updating xorg to 6.8.2-25 and the update hung on "replacing

Incredibly bad idea. It probably wasn't "hung"--there are a lot of
files and it probably wasn't done yeet.
I got
a message that xorg needed rebuilding so I did that and got an
error
below. I tried reinstalling and got the error below. I tried

Hi Alexander,
I tried the solution above and got the same results:
mv /sw/src/fink.build/root-xorg-6.8.2-25/etc
/sw/src/fink.build/root-xorg-6.8.2-25/private

I checked out the FAQ and don't actually know what to look for. I
can't
see what file I would look for in the output. Sorry about the
naivete!
Any other ideas? I thought about installing xfree86 but I think
that is
rather stale and my other packages were compiled against xorg. What
about installing an earlier version?
Thanks,
Brian
What you're looking for is something else earlier in the build that
says that is an error.
You're absolutely right that things will break if you install
XFree86-4.5. Unfortunately there's no earlier version available.
I've got a 10.3 drive available. Once I'm done with some other builds
I can build xorg and post the .debs, if you can't get this resolved.

I thought I would try:

The package 'xorg' will be installed.
The package 'xorg-shlibs' will be installed.
The following package will be installed or updated:

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

I really don't get the connection between the FAQ and Apple's X11
and xorg.
Would it help to remove the packages as suggested? Exactly how would I
do this?
Thanks again!
You've got files in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 that fink doesn't claim
ownership of. If you do what the FAQ says:
sudo rm -rf /etc/X11 /usr/X11R6/bin
That will clear the unclaimed files out and you'll be able to install
xorg at that point with "fink -b install xorg"

Well, I just seem to be making things worse! I removed as you
suggested and got the error that I still had X11 files so I removed
the files shown. Now I seem to be even worse off?
I really appreciate your help Alexander and I apologize for being a
boneheaded newbie! Even after 2 years of Fink!
