And I now have an 'X' directory as per:

The version number given here (4.2.0-12) does not seem to agree with the version number I get when I do a fink list -i xfree86 (4.2.1.1-3). How come?

Since xfree86-base and -rootless are in your package database, you can't
install system-xfree86.
Try doing
sudo apt-get upgrade
followed by
sudo apt-get update
: your binary package description may be older than what you see with
"fink list", and that's why you aren't seeing the -shlibs packages
(because they are a new thing).
Out of curiosity, what version of xfree86 do you have on right now? Do
dpkg -p xfree86-base
and look at the line starting with Version:
Also, when you are installing by version number, you need to do it as
follows:
sudo apt-get install xfree86-rootless=4.2.1.1-3
fink install xfree86-rootless-4.2.1.1-3
