system-xfree86 is a virtual package, which gets installed if your X11 installation is correct.


To figure out what's going on, download the following script:

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/costabel/fink-x11-debug

Then run it in a terminal from wherever you downloaded it:

perl fink-x11-debug

Then post the results to the list.

I thought it possibly useful to run the script, too, since I'm getting the infamous "You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11" message. Here's the output:

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
