Thanks,
I did read 8.11 and thought I was different because my osX is 10.2.6 and I was not using Apple X11 and I had just recently installed Xfree86 4.3 binaries from xfree86.org. Plus X11 works, as I use it with open office. Fink does offer an option to keep my X11 I just don't understand what to type in.
OK, I see. The advice it gives you is outdated(*). There is no system-xfree86 package any more that you can install. You have to let the virtual package system do its magic. In order to see why it isn't doing it, one would have to look at more details of the output of fink-virtual-pkgs. Then you should try to find out which particular package pretends to need xfree86 and not just the virtual system-xfree86 that you already have.
(*)Looking at cvs logs, this looks to me like a mistake where the references to system-xfree86 got removed and then partially reintroduced when the version in unstable was moved to stable. It is fixed now on the server.
