It's not interfering, since it's a buildlock package, which really doesn't have any files. But to get rid of the message, edit /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status as root with , your favorite unix-line-ending-friendly text editor. Then hunt down the entry for fink-buildlock-applex11tools. I'd suspect that the entry shows it as "installed". Get rid of every line for that entry other than Package, Status, Section, and Architecture Change the Status line and Section line to be Status: purge ok not-installed Section: unknown -- Alexander K.
