If I understand the FAQ correctly my system-xfree86 section is
present and provides a line which contains x11.
Q8.11 I installed Apple's X11 in Panther but Fink keeps asking to
install xfree86.
You can check
your install by running fink-virtual-pkgs and checking to see that the Package:
system-xfree86 section is present and the provides:line
contains
x11
