I get the following error and a similar one installing libyaml. It looks like something in fink-mirrors is wedged. I do have binary distributions configured on this system. On another system (10.8) without binaries I do not get this error.

Try building just this current package libwww-pm5162 (i.e, "fink build libwww-pm5162"). 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 https://github.com/fink/fink/wiki/Buildlocks for more information. /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -r fink-buildlock-libwww-pm5162-6.06-1 >/dev/null dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove fink-buildlock-libwww-pm5162-6.06-1 which isn't installed.
