It should be possible to get 4.3. No you needn't remove the deb files and to delete all the xfree packages via fink take a look at points 8.11 and 8.12 in the faq <http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php#apple-x11-wants-xfree86>. This should do the trick. You can safely do this while the other packages depending on xfree are on your machine. If you donnot build a package during removing and new building of xfree that depends on it the shouldn't care if currently a x is installed or not. To be absolutely sure that no X is on your machine you can after the fink commands to these ones: sudo rm -rf /etc/X11/ [Enter] sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6/ [Enter] sudo rm -rf /Applications/XDarwin(or X11).app [Enter] If you get errors saying this files aren't on your Mac then fink did remove them already. After this do a fink selfupdate to be absolutely sure to have the latest xfree86 package descreption and afterwards do a fink install xfree(86) and the work should be done.
