What I believe happened is that your modified .info file vanished from Fink's knowledge when you switched trees, and you were left with a version that was copied over to the new tree, but still needs modification. When you put your modified version into the new local tree, everything was corrected.

OK, that works, though I have no idea why: the file I hacked is mozilla-browser-xft2-1.3-2.info, which is the version that is listed as outdated. The current version only has a file mozilla-1.3-12.info that contains no mention of xfree86, and I didn't touch it.
Somehow the outdated info file is inheriting the current version number and controlling what will be installed.
Well, if it works, that's fine by me...many thanks! -- Viv

You probably should do the same thing that you did before, then. Assuming that you copied the .info file to 10.2/local and then edited it, then you'd need to copy the file over to 10.2-gcc3.3/local (or 10.3/local) and run "fink index".

Getting to the end of the list of packages to update under gcc-3.3 and I find:
The following package will be installed or updated: mozilla-browser-xft2 The following 5 additional packages will be installed: mozilla-browser mozilla-dev mozilla-shlibs xfree86 xfree86-shlibs
mozilla-browser-xft2 is still demanding xfree86 when I have a perfickly good one installed:
i system-xfree86 2:4.3-1 [placeholder for user installed x11]
Last time (under 10.2 tree) I hacked the .info file and it worked fine, so I'm pretty sure I don't have something else wrong with my setup (that version is still running OK even). But given the system-xfree86 stuff has changed, I'm not sure what to hack it to this time...
