[Fink-users] Apple X11 and fink: problems installing system-xfree

[Artemio Gonzalez-Lopez]

Following the latest instructions on fink's website for using Apple X11 together with
fink, I successfully removed my fink xfree installation with

sudo dpkg -r --force-depends xfree86-rootless xfree86-rootless-shlibs xfree86-base xfree86-base-shlibs

I then installed X11User and X11 SDK (in that order), also successfully. However,
installation of system-xfree fails with the following error message

sudo /sw/bin/fink install system-xfree86
Information about 2060 packages read in 1 seconds.

The following package will be installed or updated:

Failed: can't install package system-xfree86-4.2-2

Could anybody suggest how to proceed?

TIA,

Artemio
