I searched the archives/faqs, and did not see an answer to this question. If the answer can be found there, please throw me a link. In any case... I have a clean install of 10.3, with developer tools, including Apple's X11 and X11 SDK. I did a bootstrap installation of the latest fink 0.6.0, and upon completion, ran: fink selfupdate-cvs. The problem is as follows:
When I try to install nmap (which really is quite a simple program. I can compile the actual source from <http://www.insecure.org/nmap> with no problems). Fink proceeds to tell me that I have some dependencies, amongst which is xfree86-base-threaded. I tell fink to go ahead, and all the various depencies install with no problem, except for teh xfree86 package. I am receiving the following error message:
----
You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86-base again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
Press Return to continue.

My questions are as follows:
1) Why is it even bothering to try to download an X11 implementation? nmap is a simple command line program.
2) Is it a typo, or is there actually some meaning to "install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools"? I have searched google, the fink website, and the archives, and am coming up blank. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
TIA
