I completely removed fink's installation of X11 by running
sudo dpkg -r --force-depends xfree86-rootless\ xfree86-rootless-shlibs xfree86-base xfree86-base-shlibs
and I manually removed all traces of xfree86-* from various directories under /sw (i.e., trashed the distribution files and the .deb files). Then I did
fink install xfree86-base-shlibs fink install xfree86-base fink install xfree86-rootless-shlibs fink install xfree86-rootless
Note: First I tried simply 'fink install xfree86-rootless' and let fink identify the others as dependencies to install. But that crapped out during the .deb unpacking step with a complaint that I already had an X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11. So removed those directories and ran the install of each package separately.

Hi Alexander,
Thank you for the info. Unfortunately I already started removing some packages (gaim, gtk, pango) and the error went away. Since I screwed up my fink install with this xfree issue X11 fails to start, even after reinstalling. I am going to have to track this down now. I'm hoping I don't have to start this whole process over again.

One of your packages must be trying to force you to into this. Instead of doing an update-all, try updating the packages singly, and when you get to one that gives you the question abut xfree86-base (threaded) then post to the list and the maintainer that this package has an erroneous dependency.

Okay, I found the old SDK and beta 3 of X11 on the web (thank you Google). I reinstalled both and ran "sudo apt-get remove xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs xfree86-base-threaded".
I then ran "update-all" and the following appeared:
fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:
(1) xfree86-base-threaded: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
(2) xfree86-base: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
Pick one: [1]
I fear this will get me in the same predicament that I'm trying to get out of. There is no option not to install these. What to do?

Hi Martin,
Yep, this is what happened. I recently changed my fink.conf for all unstable, ran selfupdate and then update-all and just chose "y" to everything. Oops.
Thanks for the info. Time to start trying to fix it.

The first error is clearly yours: If you have Apple's X11 installed, you should never have said "y" when fink proposed to install xfree86-* packages. You have now a bunch of half-installed packages that may be hard to get rid of.

The error messages are rather verbose. They show clearly that you now have two half-installed packages that have overwritten a part of your X11 installation. You have to get rid of them first, probably best by using
sudo apt-get remove xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs xfree86-base-threaded
of sudo dpkg with various options.
use Apple's X11. The system-xfree86 place holder package is in place. Any ideas on how to correct this?
In the end you will have to reinstall Apple's X11 including the X11SDK package. Is this X11-beta3 on Jaguar?
