This has been discussed a couple of hours ago on this list: The new package works only for a first-time install, not for an update. You have to use force (and dpkg) to install the update. Either
sudo dpkg -r --force-depends system-xfree86
fink install system-xfree86
or
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/system-xfree86-42_4.2-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
fink install system-xfree86
(the latter line is then probably superfluous)
And don't try the update remotely via ssh while you are not logged in at the console. It will hang.

I apologize if this has been covered. Just ran fink selfupdate-cvs, it installed a new fink. Then when i did fink update-all, it wanted to update system-xfree86. here are the results. Help appreciated. I am using the beta 3 Apple X11.

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:
system-xfree86-42
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
