It appears that you have a corrupted /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status database,
since _no_ fink-buildlock-* package should have files installed.  This
can happen if the machine or shell session shuts down during a build.

Check /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status for entries for
fink-buildlock-fink-package-precedence-0.16-1 and
fink-buildlock-readline6-6.2.4-1.  They are supposed to look like:

Package: fink-buildlock-fink-package-precedence-0.16-1
Status: purge ok not-installed
Section: unknown
Architecture: darwin-x86_64

and

Package: fink-buildlock-readline6-6.2.4-1
Status: purge ok not-installed
Section: unknown
Architecture: darwin-x86_64

respectively.  If they don't, then it's safe to remove these entries
completely, since they aren't actually necessary.
