Earlier on, while looking around on my system, I noticed during an apt-cache search, that there was a package called system-xtools. Being a fan of xtools, I decided to replace the system-xfree86 with system-xtools. Assuming foolishly that it would actually *improve* my system to have the correct package installed.
Unfortunately, as is often the case with fink packages, system-xtools is broken, and does this when I attempt to install it... Your Xtools installation is incomplete. The following files are missing: /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.dylib /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.dylib /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.dylib /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h You may have to reinstall Xtools. I decided to try reinstalling system-xfree86, but this happened... It looks like you have Xtools installed, not XFree86. You should install the system-xtools package instead. There are some subtle differences between the two. If you installed XFree86 on top of Xtools, you may want to wipe it out and do a clean install of XFree86 to avoid some potential problems. So I decided to delete xtools, so that I could install system-xfree86, and then install xtools afterwards and return my sytstem to the useful and working state it was at before I stupidly tried to fix something that didn't seem to be even faintly broken. Unfortunately, xfree86 keeps harping on about xtools being installed even though I've deleted it, and whenever I try to install an application that depends on x11, apt complains that x11 isn't installed. Can someone please tell me how to show apt that xtools is *NOT* installed, so that I can then install system-xfree86, then install xtools again so that I can actually start using my computer again. I don't want to have to re-install my whole system if I can possibly help it. _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
