[Fink-beginners] X11 vestiges

[Marc Stergionis]

Title: X11 vestiges

I have been trying to update fink and attempted to remove a previous install of Apple's X11.

From the X11 list, I got this info on how to do that

rm -rf /usr/X11R6

rm -rf /etc/X11R6

rm -rf /Applications/X11.app

rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.x11.plist

rm -f ~/.xinitrc

rm -f ~/.xftcache

rm -f ~/.fs-*

and did all those although, for the last (the .fs-*), Terminal reports

rm: No match.

However, subsequent attempts to update fink give me:

dpkg: regarding .../xfree86_4.3.0-2_darwin-powerpc.deb containing xfree86:
 system-xfree86 conflicts with x11
  xfree86 provides x11 and is to be installed.

Did I miss removing some pieces?
