Do you have abiword installed?  The new version is for XFree86-4.3 only, and
so it breaks update-all.

Otherwise, if you picked an -xft2 variant of a package at a dependency
prompt, this can also cause the same problem.

Subject: [Fink-users] "Node already exists" message

I'm getting the "Node for system-xfree86 already exists" error, and I 
followed the instructions in the FAQ to force removal of the 
system-xfree86 package.  However, when I try to re-run "fink update-all" I 
don't get any messages about a virtual dependency, as the FAQ says I 
should.  As a result fink always tries to install xfree86 and 
xfree86-shlibs, sees that I already have an x11 distribution, and quits.  
Rebuilding and then reinstalling system-xfree86 or system-xfree86-42 gives 
the same behavior (fink tries to install xfree86).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg
