Unfortunately, that's not exactly true. Apt will pick one without asking, if you don't look too closely when it asks the [Y/n] on whether to install them or not, you can end up getting the wrong one. That is why the instructions on the news/kde.php page is very explicit about making sure you have the x11 packages installed before you install the KDE bundle. > If you want to replace your version by a fresh one (not too fresh > actually, because you are getting the binary version from last April) > from fink, then say (but be very careful not to make typos, this is > the kind of commands that can destroy your whole system) > > sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6/ /etc/X11/ /Applications/XDarwin.app/ > > Then repeat your last fink install command. > If you had the package xaw3d installed before, you will need to > reinstall it. Yup, regardless of the reasons it got inconsistent, either replacing the XonX release with fink's xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless, or force-uninstalling the xfree86-* packages and installing system-xfree86 is the solution. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
