No, it says that you have a Fink xfree86 package. Did you install
Apple's X11 over a Fink XFree86?

Before you do that, run "dpkg -l *xfree86*"

Fink Documenter (still)
Hi ALex, The history of my X11 conflict is as the following. When I got my Powerbook I fist installed Apple X11 and then I installed fink. Everything was fine and selfupdate and update-all were doing what they should. One day I think while running update-all, I hit enter without looking at the packages it wanted to install. And, within those were xfree86 and xfree86-shilbs. Without my knowledge it tried to install the above 2 packgs but failed somehow.
After that I couldnot use the Apple X11 nor the fink X. Then with the help of a few members of this news group I reinstalled the Apple X11 pckg. Since then it is cribbing about xfree86 and xfree86-shilbs. Right now a lot of packgs in my system need updating. But, I cant do it without getting rid of this problem.
As yo had suggested I ran "dpkg -l *xfree86*", and I got the following responce which I cant understand.
