Dear all, I've just got a new macbook and I've copied the sw/ folder over from my old one via a hard drive (with the intention of avoiding reinstalling all the fink packages from scratch).
I placed the startup script in the .profile file with the usual line: test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh I can access all the apps from the fink distribution (e.g. gnuplot), however, I fear going via the hard drive might have messed up the permissions: Last login: Fri Oct 19 19:48:02 on ttys000 launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /sw/share/dbus/launchd/org.finkproject.dbus-session.plist nothing found to load at any rate, fink selfupdate fails because of a buildlock: macbook:~ ratoo$ sudo -E fink selfupdate Password: rsync -az -q rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. /usr/bin/su ocroze -c "rsync -rtz --delete-after --delete -q --include='10.7/' --include='10.7/stable/' --include='10.7/stable/main/' --include='10.7/stable/main/finkinfo/' --include='10.7/stable/main/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.7/stable/main/finkinfo/*' --include='10.7/stable/main/finkinfo/**/*' --include='VERSION' --include='DISTRIBUTION' --include='README' --exclude='**' 'rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo' '/sw/fink/'" Scanning package description files..........

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.

Errors were encountered while processing: fink-buildlock-fink-0.34.4-61 ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1 Failed: buildlock failure Is there anything I can do to fix this? Would making a direct transfer of sw/ from laptop to laptop via rsync preserve permissions and prevent the problem? Thanks in advance!
