--------------------------
From the Fink FAQ:
Q4.8: I can't install a package | update because I get a message that a "node" already exists.
A: These errors look something like this:
Failed: Internal error: node for system-xfree86 already exists
This problem is that the dependency engine is confused, due to changes in some of the package info files. To fix it:
Remove the offending package by force, e. g.
sudo dpkg -r --force-all system-xfree86
for the example given above.
Try again to install | upgrade. At some point a "virtual dependency" prompt will come up that includes the package you just removed. Select it, and it will be reinstalled during your build.
------------------------------
Is that the kind of message you were getting? The recommended procedure above solved my problem.

I already posted a question about X11 1.0 upgrade and im still stuck with fink who want to replace xfree86 libs with internal ones. After more reading in archives, i saw that other users have the same problem:
