Typically, buildlock issues are due to inconsistencies in the installed package database file ( /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status ), and the offending line of that gets reported (actually, what is reported is usually a little off of the real line). If such a thing is present in your output, then edit /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status as a superuser, go to the line your error mentions, and change the nearest (probably a buildlock-*) package's Status line from Status: purge ok installed to Status: purge ok not-installed Otherwise, we'll need to see more of your output. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
