<p>This problem has come about because of changes needed to allow for externally
installed XFree86-4.3 . Originally, <code>system-xfree86</code> provided the
<code>x11</code> virtual package when an externally installed XFree86 was present.
Because it only worked for XFree86-4.2, it was decided to have two separate
packages:</p>
<ul>
-<li><code>system-xfree86-42</code>, for XFree86 4.2.x and Apple X11 beta 3</li>
-<li><code>system-xfree86-43</code>, for XFree86 4.3.x and Apple X11 1.0</li>
+<li>
+<code>system-xfree86-42</code>, for XFree86 4.2.x and Apple X11 beta 3</li>
+<li>
+<code>system-xfree86-43</code>, for XFree86 4.3.x and Apple X11 1.0</li>
</ul>
-<p>Either of these will provide <code>x11</code>. <code>System-xfree86</code> is now
a bundle that installs the appropriate one of the above packages, depending on the
version of XFree86 / Apple X11 that is installed. Unfortunately, switching the
provider of a virtual package is sufficiently complicated that the automatic upgrade
procedure can't deal with it (currently). In order to upgrade, perform the following
procedure:</p>
-<codeblock>
-dpkg --remove --force-depends system-xfree86
-fink install system-xfree86
-</codeblock>
-<p>If you're using Fink Commander, you can select <code>system-xfree86</code>, use
Source->Force Remove, then reselect it and use Source->Install.</p>

<code>selfupdate-cvs</code> to get the latest version of the package: <em>1.0-2</em>
as of this writing. Then try to update again. </p>
