conflict with x11.</b></p></div>
-<div class="answer"><p><b>A:</b> This problem has come about because of changes
needed to allow for externally installed XFree86-4.3. Originally,
<code>system-xfree86</code> provided the <code>x11</code> virtual package when an
externally installed XFree86 was present. Because it only worked for XFree86-4.2, it
was decided to have two separate packages for XFree86 4.2.x and Apple X11 beta 3, and
one for XFree86 4.3.x and Apple X11 1.0</p><p>Either of these will provide
<code>x11</code>. <code>system-xfree86</code> is now a bundle that installs the
appropriate one of the above packages, depending on the version of XFree86 / Apple X11
that is installed. Unfortunately, switching the provider of a virtual package is
sufficiently complicated that the automatic upgrade procedure can't deal with it
(currently). Do an additional <code>selfupdate</code> to get the latest version of the
package, then try to update again.</p></div>

-<div class="answer"><p><b>A:</b> This problem has come about because of changes
needed to allow for externally installed XFree86-4.3. Originally, <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">system-xfree86</tt> provided the <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">x11</tt> virtual package when an externally installed XFree86 was present.
Because it only worked for XFree86-4.2, it was decided to have two separate packages
for XFree86 4.2.x and Apple X11 beta 3, and one for XFree86 4.3.x and Apple X11
1.0</p><p>Either of these will provide <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">x11</tt>. <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">system-xfree86</tt> is now a bundle that installs the
appropriate one of the above packages, depending on the version of XFree86 / Apple X11
that is installed. Unfortunately, switching the provider of a virtual package is
sufficiently complicated that the automatic upgrade procedure can't deal with it
(currently). Do an additional <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">selfupdate</tt> to get
the latest version of the package, then try to update again.</p></div>
