I have cron updating fink daily, something probably went wrong without me
knowing about it.

Setting runtime build-lock...

There is currently an active buildlock for the package
aquaterm (1.1.1-1)
meaning some other fink process is currently building it.

Can't set build lock for aquaterm (1.1.1-1)
If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages or missing
dependencies -- for example, telling you that the package
fink-buildlock-aquaterm-1.1.1-1 conflicts with something else -- fink has
probably
gotten confused by trying to build many packages at once. Try building just this
current package aquaterm (i.e, "fink build aquaterm"). When that has completed
successfully, you could retry whatever you did that led to the present error.
Regardless of the cause of the lock failure, don't worry: you have not wasted
compiling time! Packages that had been completely built before this error
occurred
will not have to be recompiled.
See http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:buildlocks for more information.
