The error message that they're seeing is the standard one for whenever there's a package version that exceeds those known to Fink. Rather than code a special case just for cctools, Ben R. (rangerrick) suggested it might be easier to add an "xcode" virtual package and maintainers could use that. -- Alexander K.
