Apt-get only knows about binaries from the binary distribution or those you have built on your machine. Both XFree86-4.3 (the xfree86 package) and xfree86-*-threaded (4.2 with threading) are in unstable, and must be built from source.
You will definitely have to remove Apple's X11: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-packages.php#cant-install-xfree -- Alexander K.

I want to install xfree86 with thread support so I can watch SVCDs in Xine, but is 'fink install xfree86' the only way to do this? Is it possible to install from binary with 'apt-get install xfree86'? My machine isn't that fast so it takes ages to compile anything. I've copied the files from the unstable to local dists but apt-get doesn't seem to work. I also have Apple's X11 installed. Is it necessary to uninstall this to install xfree86, and if so how?
