Hi.You certainly realize by now that when you install XDarwin from a non-fink binary, you shouldn't have any Fink xfree86 package installed except system-xfree86. You have the choice between
I used the XDarwin binary from www.xdarwin.org originally to install xfree86. I used the update to provide compatibility with Jag (I now have OS 10.2.3)
However, something seemed to have broken with fink - when I tried to use apt-get to install anything it would say something about unmet dependencies and a broken xfree86 install, try doing -f install.
I did sudo apt-get -f install and it removed almost all the problem packages. However, xfree86-rootless still exists.
- non-Fink XDarwin + Fink's system-xfree86
- or Fink's four xfree86-* packages.
apt-get -f install
You could try to dodoes this: dpkg: error processing xfree86-rootless (--remove): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.
sudo dpkg -r --force-reinstreq xfree86-rootless
If this doesn't work, your last resort is to go into /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info and hack some of the files there by hand in order to remove all traces of xfree86-rootless. But this is dangerous, you can easily make your whole fink system unusable.
