In my case it was apparently generated by having fink either rebuild
or reinstall the openoffice package. When it's running, I leave fink
alone and check back in a couple of hours. I ran both commands back
to back just kinda playing around. First I ran reinstall then
rebuild. Just to play around a bit, not because of any problems. :)
And no, I didn't ^C it. So, I'm currently rebuilding again to see if
I can duplicate it. Maybe it's a problem with the rebuild command not
removing the buildlock then when finished...
Obviously interrupting the process could leave a buildlock in place.
What are some other options that could cause it?
Have a good day,
Brandon

Same problem here (stale buildlock) for openoffice.org.
I ran the fink selfupdate when this notice first went out, but didn't
get the buildlock problem till today when doing another selfupdate/
update-all combo.
OS 10.4.2, fink 0.24.10-21, xcode 2.1

PS-- manually removing the buildlock fixed it for me too.
I'd like to thank everybody who has provided feedback.
The "stale buildlock" problem isn't within the scope of 0.24.10 to
resolve (especially because they are not infrequently generated by
impatient users hitting ^C too vigorously. :-) ). There are plans
for a cleanup routine to remove buildlock packages--this has to be
done carefully so that it doesn't destroy the lock for something
that's still being built.
