What it reports for installed packages is peculiar, given that I had
a working X installation:
xfree86 4.1.0-1 XFree86 convenience bundle
i xfree86-base 4.2.0-4 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and d...
xfree86-rootles 4.2.0-2 MacOS X/Darwin XFree86 display server.
xfree86-server 4.1.0-5 XFree86 display server (stable release)
The error message is:
% sudo fink install xfree86-rootless

You have an existing X server installation in /usr/X11R6 and /Applications.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86-rootless again.
I've had X since the very early days of Fink, and I vaguely recall
that the installation then required a variety of steps and copying
some files by hand. Could it be that my setup is somehow not fully
managed by fink? My problem is that I have no idea of what to remove
from /usr/X11R6. I guess I could delete everything and start from
scratch, but I fear the consequences.
