Thanks, now I'm getting this:
It first lists all the packages and says that system-xfree86 will be removed. Then I have the rest here (notice it says it ignored a request to remove system-xfree86 because it's not installed, one part of the system thinks it's in, another thinks it's not):
0 packages upgraded, 193 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/199MB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove system-xfree86 which isn't installed. Selecting previously deselected package xfree86-shlibs.
Stop right there. Under no circumstances you should allow that it tries to install xfree86-shlibs (unless, of course, you wnat to give up your Apple X11 installation and install a fink-built xfree86). I cannot guess now why it wants to install it, but you have to find out this out first. As long as it wants to install this, you won't get any further.
You can do "sudo apt-get upgrade -u" so that it shows you the list of pacakges it wants to install, then install them one by one until you find the one that wants to pull in xfree86-shlibs. If you really have the two Apple X11 packages installed and your distribution is set to 10.3, then *no* package has the right to do this.
