Hi there,

FInk can't self update. I get the following error:

Information about 3997 packages read in 0 seconds.
The following 12 packages will be installed or updated:
gst-plugins-base-0.10 gst-plugins-base-0.10-dev gst-plugins- base-0.10-shlibs gstreamer-0.10 gstreamer-0.10-dev gstreamer-0.10- shlibs liboil-0.3 liboil-0.3-shlibs libvorbis0
 libvorbis0-shlibs pixman pixman-shlibs
The following 2 additional packages will be installed:
 flex-devel help2man

Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1
Can't set build lock for help2man (1.29-1)

If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages or missing dependencies -- for example, telling you that the package fink-buildlock-help2man-1.29-1 conflicts with something else -- fink has probably gotten confused by trying to build many packages at once. Try building just this current package help2man (i.e, "fink build help2man"). 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.

See http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:buildlocks for more information.
/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -r fink-buildlock-help2man-1.29-1 >/dev/null
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove fink-buildlock- help2man-1.29-1 which isn't installed.
Failed: buildlock failure

I had a crash (quite severe) and I needed to apply a disk recovery which may have led to some files being deleted. I do have a backup in time machine, but I am not sure what files to recover. I tried recovering app-defaults dir, but that did not work (i get the exact same error). Any idea, if possible I would want to avoid a complete re- install of fink.
kind regards
daan

on running you get the predicted alert message about not having the

with a whole armful of error messages and then dies with the
following:

gnc.gui:ERROR:gnc-icons.c:68:gnc_add_stock_icon_pair: assertion
failed: (pixbuf1 && pixbuf2)

So the hunt continues ...

The gtk2 package is installed, right?  Often pixbuf-related issues
are
due to  gtk+2 missing from the dependency chain.

It seems I am having the exact same problem, and gtk2+2-2.14..4-1 is
installed.

Thanks for your help



I don't recall for sure whether this is the exact context where I've
used this, but perhaps try

sudo /sw/sbin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders
