I noted an inconsistency between fink and apt-get when working with a new package I created. I mistakenly had a Depends on X11 in the info file. Fink accepted that, but when I tried to use the deb to install on another computer, it complained that it couldn't find X11. I changed the spelling to the correct x11 and everything is fine. But, I wonder if fink really should accept x11.
Fink package names are always lowercase, so x11 is correct. fink the package manager converts package names to lowercase anyhow, so its dependency checking mechanism is happy with X11, too. When you install the deb, it is dpkg not fink who is checking the package names, and dpkg seems to be case-sensitive.
