Looks OK (system-x11-dev is an artifact of my not having enough coffee--no such package exists). So the question is why Fink would want to install xfree86 given that you've got what looks like a completely adequate system-xfree86 suite. Just as one last cleanliness check, try running dpkg -l xfree86* to make sure you don't have any partially installed bits (which "fink list" wouldn't register) laying around. -- Alexander Hansen Fink Documentarian [Day Job] Levitated Dipole Experiment http://psfcwww2.psfc.mit.edu/ldx/
