I am using Panther + Apple X11.

Fink:
Package manager version: 0.17.1
Distribution version: 0.6.2.cvs



Earlier I did a fink selfupdate. I don't know what I did a fink selfupdate. I wish I hadn't. After the selfupdate it told me I should update-all my packages, so I did.

I have been sitting around for the last 3 hours watching all kinds of code go by my terminal that looks to be compiling something.

During ths time I've seen mention of x11 as well as several folders in my OSX System folder (Frameworks, etc)...


Never before has update-all taken so long, wtf is going on?

This looks to be having somethign in particular to do with xfree86 but I really have no idea.. I just know this is taking way longer than I think it should be...


Pllleeeassee tell me things are ok..
 
Oh my gosh.

How the heck? All I did was update-all.. I swear... I did not ask for Apple's xfree86 to be replaced...
