Errors with buildlock files often go away when you just repeat the last command. Otherwise this looks similar to what FAQ #6.14 "I can't install anything because I get "dpkg: parse error, in file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/status'"!" talks about <http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/faq.en.html#comp-general.dpkg-parse-error> -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
