Hi: I have everything of the latest in Mac OS X and fink unstable on an Intel Duo iMac.
However, the latest "fink selfupdate" fails with (more details below) Installing build-lock package... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock- fink-0.28.7-41_2009.03.03-21.01.56_darwin-i386.deb dpkg: parse error, in file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 3361 package `automake1.9': missing version ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 2 Can't set build lock for fink (0.28.7-41) ..... dpkg: parse error, in file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 3361 package `automake1.9': missing version ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 2 As recommended in the wiki "Remove the lock manually. fink list -t fink-buildlock will list them, then you can use fink remove package- name to remove them", XXX$ fink list -t fink-buildlock --> Information about 7919 packages read in 1 seconds. But it gives _no- result. Also fink build fink terminates with the same error message (as expected). What shall I / what can I do next? Heinz ________________ The following package will be installed or updated: fink Setting runtime build-lock... dpkg-deb -b /sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-buildlock-fink-0.28.7-41 /sw/ src/fink.build dpkg-deb: building package `fink-buildlock-fink-0.28.7-41' in `/sw/src/ fink.build/fink-buildlock-fink-0.28.7-41_2009.03.03-21.01.56_darwin- i386.deb'. Installing build-lock package... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock- fink-0.28.7-41_2009.03.03-21.01.56_darwin-i386.deb dpkg: parse error, in file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 3361 package `automake1.9': missing version ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 2 Can't set build lock for fink (0.28.7-41) If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages or missing dependencies -- for example, telling you that the package fink-buildlock-fink-0.28.7-41 conflicts with something else -- fink has probably gotten confused by trying to build many packages at once. Try building just this current package fink (i.e, "fink build fink"). 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.
