There was a recent change to split system-xfree86 into 4.2 and 4.3 versions.[]
When I do a fink update, I got the following error:
system-xfree86 conflicts with x11 system-xfree86-42 provides x11 and is to be installed.
This has been discussed a couple of hours ago on this list: The new package works only for a first-time install, not for an update. You have to use force (and dpkg) to install the update. Either
sudo dpkg -r --force-depends system-xfree86 fink install system-xfree86
or
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/system- xfree86-42_4.2-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
fink install system-xfree86
(the latter line is then probably superfluous)
And don't try the update remotely via ssh while you are not logged in at the console. It will hang.

Information about 2879 packages read in 3 seconds.
fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:
(1) system-xfree86-42: Placeholder: XFree86 4.2.x and Apple X11 beta 3
(2) system-xfree86-43: Placeholder: XFree86 4.3.x and Apple X11 1.0
-----------
I have Apple X11 beta 3 (is there anything else?), but neither option works for me.
Please help: I cannot "update-all" any more.
