You didn't specify your platform or your _current_ version of fink, but
this looks like the result of an issue which was introduced in
fink-0.36.3 that affects only 10.6/i386, and which was fixed in
fink-0.36.3.1. Unfortunately, this particular issue blocks the ability
to build any packages.
You can work around this issue by editing /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait and
/sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait as an administrator and changing the line in
each that says
my $struct_flock = pack("qqiss", 0, 0, 0, F_WRLCK, SEEK_SET);
to
my $struct_flock = pack("lllliss", (0, 0), (0, 0), 0, F_WRLCK,
SEEK_SET);
After you do that, you should be able to install fink-0.36.3.1 and other
packages.
