Im trying to run the self update and I get the following: There is currently an active buildlock for the package base-files (1.9.13-1) meaning some other fink process is currently building it. dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... /sw/bin/dpkg: error processing /sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock-base-files-1.9.13-1_2013.01.29-08.57.34_d arwin-x86_64.deb (--install): subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock-base-files-1.9.13-1_2013.01.29-08.57.34_ darwin-x86_64.deb ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1 Can't set build lock for base-files (1.9.13-1)
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-base-files-1.9.13-1 >/dev/null /sw/bin/dpkg: error processing fink-buildlock-base-files-1.9.13-1 (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: fink-buildlock-base-files-1.9.13-1 ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1 Failed: buildlock failure Ive tried removing and purging the build lock with no success. It might be related, but Im also getting this when I try to install a package: sudo -u fink-bld [ENV] sh -c /tmp/fink.2rEDf /sw/bin/tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions -xvf /sw/src/lua-5.1.4.tar.gz The process just stops and hangs there.
