Hello, I really wonder openly who gave that neat idea of removing one, small, text file which is suspiciously needed by fink virtual package system to work properly. Note it took me days to properly find what kind of info fink maintainers need, I had no clue about how fink does find x11, I naively thought it was looking to some versions of files via otool. If there wasn't a risk of being called "stalker" or hurt fink relations with Apple, I would find the exact reason of this "bad co-incidence". Anyway, once more such unexplainable behaviour against open source projects made me sure that brand of my next computer won't have any resemblance to a fruit. I am in middle of a very large jpeg recovery process happened because of very same companies childish "accessible to all users" HFS+ hacks on top of boot camp, I have some health issues worsen when I sit here for hours and try to look what kind of "co incidence" by some Apple update caused my fink stopped functioning (can be amazed how many packages need x11) and it turns out to be some .pc file which very interestingly didn't hurt anything by being "there" but broken fink x11 detection. Whoever gave this neat idea of removing a tiny txt file could be also reading this so, I use the opportunity to suggest him to see some doctor, especially one specialized in passive aggressive behaviour.
