Erm... exactly what does that mean? It shows up when I do a 'fink list'; is it
not supposed to?
It shows up when you install the appropriate other tetex package (I'm not sure which one), but since it's not a real package, you can't remove or reinstall it--and there's no description.
I went through this a few weeks ago. If you want to use Gerben Wierda's tex installer, I think you need to select the Expert install mode, and select the "Tex Programs (Developers Extras)" option. This seemed to be what finally allowed fink to recognize this tex installation as meeting the criteria for system-tetex.
Is this really a virtual package? There is no mention of tetex if you run fink-virtual-pkgs, and it seems to me that you need to manually install the system-tetex package.
