Ahah, well, that's good to know. > what is the output of dpkg -S XDarwin.app? dpkg -S XDarwin.app xfree86-rootless: /Applications/XDarwin.app xfree86-rootless: /Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents xfree86-rootless: /Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/MacOS xfree86-rootless: /Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/MacOS/XDarwin and that's it, which at least shows where the things that are there are coming from. >From the docs at: http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/inst-xfree86.php#fink http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/inst-xfree86.php#fink-summary it says to install xfree86-base and xfree86-server to get a non-rootless server, and xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless to get a rootless server, and I was guessing that that info would carry over to 4.2 in unstable, especially since xfree86-server exists only in stable. But maybe I'm wrong. > if you do not get output similar to this (i just updated again today), > try fink rebuild xfree86-server. that should fix your problem. I'll try that. I'd thought that that would conflict with xfree86-rootless, but I guess we'll find out. :-) It'll take overnight to download and compile on my machine, I suspect, but I'll let people know what happens. (If it does work, I guess I'll suggest to the package maintainer that they make one a dependency on the other, since xfree86-rootless doesn't seem very useful without all of XDarwin. But maybe there were reasons to do it this way.) Thanks for the help, Sara -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sara C.
