I was trying to find out what made fink insist on trying to
install xfree86-rootless-threaded. I asked:

That did the trick. I found out that "kdemultimedia" depends on
"libxine" which depends on the "-threaded" stuff.
Well, "kdemultimedia" is part of "bundle-kde" and "bundle-kde-ssl",
I'm thinking, so the next question is, how am I supposed to upgrade
"bundle-kde-ssl" in that case?
