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 Have a good day, Brandon 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. --AKH I know it might be a silly assumption, but why not check for any running fink PIDs if there is a preexisting software lock, then if there aren't any, remove the stale lock and start the build/install process over again. -Garrett
