I just built the new lame-3.96.1-2 package, and noted some strange

Note - /Volumes/BU/sw/src/fink.build is defined as the Buildpath
in /sw/etc/fink.conf. Other packages seem happy with this
arrangement, but it looks like the lame package might be confused
by it.
dpkg certainly shouldn't be trying to delete /Volumes/BU or /
Volumes. /Volumes/BU is my backup hard drive. Fortunately,
nothing appears to have been deleted from /Volumes/BU.
What this means is that the previous version you had installed,
3.96.1-1, was broken and installed some stuff (man files I think)
into %i instead of %p. The new version doesn't do this. You can
check by running "fink remove lame" and see whether it gives the
same warnings or not. In your case nothing bad happened, because
all these directories were not empty and fink does not remove non-
empty directories. In my case, it would have been worse, because /
sw is a symlink, and fink would have been happy to remove it.
I tried a "fink remove lame", and it proceeded without any warnings.
Thanks for the explanation.
