I'm trying to update my fink install and I'm having trouble because of dependencies that I think are incorrect.
Here, for instance is a copy of a "fink update-all" session:

Failed: Dependencies not satisfied
OK, so my basic problem is this: Something in that long list of packages wants me to install xfree86-base+ in spite of the fact that I have a current install of system-xfree86 (4.2-5) as a placeholder for Apple's X11. I don't want to step on X11 by running a fink install of it and I'd like an easy way to hunt down this (broken?) dependency and kill it but I can't think of anything short of reading through 188 package .info files. I've been gamely trying various incantations using find and grep but I'm not really great at this and thought I'd ask for suggestions from other users.
