I performed a selfupdate-cvs before installing system-xfree86 just half an hour ago or so, and mine installed OK.

Maybe someone patched something on CVS? :)

I just installed the new apple x11 package, and am quite happy with it.

The trouble is that when I try and install the new system-xfree86 package
I get the following sad news:

sudo /sw/bin/fink install system-xfree86

And for those of you who are curious, yes I do have dpkg-deb installed,
which dpkg-deb returns /sw/bin/dpkg-deb.  Is it a busted info file?

I'm using the cvs version of fink:
[chem-bchm-165:~] chixson% fink --version
Package manager version: 0.11.1
Distribution version: 0.5.0a.cvs

and I did a fink selfupdate-cvs just before my fink install
system-xfree86.

Thanks.
