In the package database on the fink web site, there are still package descriptions for xfree86-rootless and xfree86-server, although these packages are marked as "Not present" in all distributions.The PDB is stored in a MySQL database. And old entries are normally left in the DB unless explicitly overwritten, so when a package is removed, it may not be removed from the PDB. Somebody would have to go over the DB and clean out all the old bad entries.
I don't know if there exist other descriptions of "not present" packages, but these two are confusing users, in particular since *-rootless is marked "experimental" and *-server is said to be the stable variant. They should be removed.
I know that the pdb is generated automatically, but then it is hard to understand where it finds these old package descriptions that haven't existed for many months.
