I haven't used Fink in a bit and am trying to get things working again so I can update some packages I use.
When I run update-all through fink commander, I get the following response:

Package gcc3.1 is an autogenerated virtual package.
You cannot manipulate this type of package using the usual Fink tools.
Read the detailed description of this package to learn how to use it.

Anyone know why this is failing?
Thanks,

See the above message--this is intended to be more informative than "Can't find package: gcc3.1" which was the error message that you used to get
fink describe gcc3.1
will tell you what you need to do.
However, since this failed in the context of an XFree86 install, did you actually want to install XFree86?
