Re: [Fink-users] Installing tetex requires xfree86-shlibs and conflicts with system-xfree86

[Marcus S. <ms...@sc...>]

   It seems like I have version 4.2-11 for system-xfree86, but I am not 
sure how to change that. I tried fink update, but it did not do 
anything, and fink install system-xfree86-shlibs did not work, claiming:

Failed: no matching version found for system-xfree86

   Any ideas?

   Thanks for the help,
   Marcus
