There was a recent change to split system-xfree86 into 4.2 and 4.3 versions.

When I do a fink update, I got the following error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fink update system-xfree86
sudo /sw/bin/fink  update system-xfree86

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:


(1) system-xfree86-42: Placeholder: XFree86 4.2.x and Apple X11 beta 3
(2) system-xfree86-43: Placeholder: XFree86 4.3.x and Apple X11 1.0


Pick one: [1]
The following package will be installed or updated:
system-xfree86
The following additional package will be installed:
