A recent thread discussed how to uninstall Apple's x11 to install fink's xfree86 instead. I'm having the opposite problem -- I'm happy running Apple's x11, but fink wants to install it's own x11 instead.
The problem started about a week ago when I upgraded to a new version of fink. (I'm now running version 0.21.3-1.) Now when I try to run "apt-get dist-upgrade", it says that several x programs (aterm, emacs21, tetex-base, etc.) have unmet dependencies against x11. It suggests I run "apt-get -f install". When I do that, it tries to install fink's own xfree86 packages. It looks like that new version of fink didn't install cleanly. When I run "dpkg -l", the line for fink begins "iF". The header line says the F means "Failed-config". If I were on debian I'd try running "dpkg-reconfigure, but I can't find that in fink. Right now I'm stuff with regards to fink. It won't let me "apt-get install" any new packages until I resolve this dependency problem. So I guess I have two questions: 1) How can I find out what the config error was, and if necessary rerun it for fink? 2) How do I tell fink that I want to use X11.app to satisfy the x11 dependency? Thanks. Walt
