Oops. The xorg-6.8.2 was from an orphaned Fink install of the package--had it been in the dpkg database then there would have been no need for VirtPackage.pm to do anything, of course. I've verified that X11 version detection works fine for Apple's X11 and an orphaned Fink xorg-6.8.2 on 10.4 without the "-iokit" flag. -- Alexander K.
