One of your packages must be trying to force you to into this. Instead
of doing an update-all, try updating the packages singly, and when you
get to one that gives you the question abut xfree86-base (threaded)
then post to the list and the maintainer that this package has an
erroneous dependency.

Okay, I found the old SDK and beta 3 of X11 on the web (thank you
Google). I reinstalled both and ran "sudo apt-get remove
xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs xfree86-base-threaded".
I then ran "update-all" and the following appeared:
fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual
dependency. The
candidates:
(1) xfree86-base-threaded: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients
and data
(2) xfree86-base: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
Pick one: [1]
I fear this will get me in the same predicament that I'm trying to get
out of. There is no option not to install these. What to do?

Hi Martin,
Yep, this is what happened. I recently changed my fink.conf for all
unstable, ran selfupdate and then update-all and just chose "y" to
everything. Oops.
Thanks for the info. Time to start trying to fix it.

The first error is clearly yours: If you have Apple's X11 installed,
you should never have said "y" when fink proposed to install
xfree86-* packages. You have now a bunch of half-installed packages
that may be hard to get rid of.

The error messages are rather verbose. They show clearly that you
now have two half-installed packages that have overwritten a part of
your X11 installation. You have to get rid of them first, probably
best by using
sudo apt-get remove xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs
xfree86-base-threaded
of sudo dpkg with various options.
use Apple's X11. The system-xfree86 place holder package is in
place. Any ideas on how to correct this?
In the end you will have to reinstall Apple's X11 including the
X11SDK package. Is this X11-beta3 on Jaguar?
