My impression is that a lot of the "buldlock" update-all failures I'm having can be pinpointed to a conflict between gettext-dev and libgettext3-dev. Thus, my most recent such failure included the following:

 dpkg-deb -b /sw/src/root-fink-buildlock-shared-mime-info-0.14-5 /sw/src
 ...
 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of fink-buildlock-
 shared-mime-info-0.14-5:
  fink-buildlock-shared-mime-info-0.14-5 depends on gettext-dev;
 however:
   Package gettext-dev is not installed.
 ...
 Errors were encountered while processing:
  fink-buildlock-shared-mime-info-0.14-5
 ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
 ...
 If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages --
 for example, telling you that fink-buildlock-shared-mime-info-0.14-5
 conflicts with something else -- fink has probably gotten confused by
 trying  to build many packages at once. Try building just this current
 package shared-mime-info (i.e, "fink build shared-mime-info")
 ...
 su-3.00# fink build shared-mime-info
 ...
 The following package will be built:
  shared-mime-info
 The following additional package will be installed:
  gettext-dev
 ...
 dpkg: considering removing libgettext3-dev in favour of gettext-dev ...
 dpkg: yes, will remove libgettext3-dev in favour of gettext-dev.

If the maintainer(s) could resolve this conflict, I suspect many such build failures would disappear.
