The message dates from before the xorg packages existed. And, unfortunately, it's not exactly correct for what to do when you have a Fink-installed xfree86 package. > I do I change xfree86 for xorg? sudo dpkg -r --force-depends xfree86 xfree86-shlibs fink install xorg I'm kind of surprised that you need to do this, though--I thought Fink's xorg replaced its xfree86 cleanly. -- Alexander K.
