[Fink-beginners] Build Error

[Chip G.]

I lost my connection while doing an update. When I re-established my connection I got a build error (using "fink update-all"). It said to try building just that piece (using "fink build xfree86"). I performed that and got the same error message. Below is the text of the message. How do I force it to reset things and try again? 10:58 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ (.151M)(62.45% 47% )] $ fink build xfree86 Information about 1931 packages read in 2 seconds. The following package will be built: xfree86 dpkg-deb -b /sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-buildlock-xfree86-4.5.0-24 /sw/src/fink.build dpkg-deb: building package `fink-buildlock-xfree86-4.5.0-24' in `/sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock-xfree86-4.5.0-24_2005.12.04-10.58.42_darwin-powerpc.deb'. Setting build lock... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock-xfree86-4.5.0-24_2005.12.04-10.58.42_darwin-powerpc.deb dpkg: parse error, in file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 905 package `fink-buildlock-xfree86-4.5.0-24': missing version ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 2 Can't set build lock for xfree86 (4.5.0-24) If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages or missing dependencies -- for example, telling you that the package fink-buildlock-xfree86-4.5.0-24 conflicts with something else -- fink has probably gotten confused by trying  to build many packages at once. Try building just this current package xfree86 (i.e, "fink build xfree86"). When that has completed successfully,  you could retry whatever you did that led to the present error. Regardless of the cause of the lock failure, don't worry: you have not wasted compiling time! Packages that had been completely built before this error occurred will not have to be recompiled. Failed: buildlock failure 10:58 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ (.151M)(62.45% 47% )] $ Thanks, -- Chip
