I have resolved the cairo issues, but now I have a new problem. I am
still trying to install abiword and gnumeric and I am getting various
error messages.
When I do a "fink selfupdate" I get this message:
W: Encountered status field in a non-version description
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
No packages to install.
The core packages have been updated. You should now update the other
packages
using commands like 'fink update-all'.
When I do the "fink update-all" it tells me "ho packages to install"
When I do "fink install abiword" I get is message:
Information about 8150 packages read in 1 seconds.
W: Encountered status field in a non-version description
The following package will be installed or updated:
abiword
Setting runtime build-lock...
dpkg-deb -b /sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-buildlock-abiword-2.4.6-3 /sw/
src/fink.build
dpkg-deb: building package `fink-buildlock-abiword-2.4.6-3' in `/sw/

dpkg: parse error, in file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 6384
package `fink-buildlock-glade3-3.4.5-2':
missing version
### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 2
Can't set build lock for abiword (2.4.6-3)
If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages
or missing
dependencies -- for example, telling you that the package
fink-buildlock-abiword-2.4.6-3 conflicts with something else -- fink has
probably gotten confused by trying to build many packages at once. Try
building just this current package abiword (i.e, "fink build
abiword"). 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.
