Ok this is the error I get, using openssl as an example: fink install openssl Information about 3599 packages read in 5 seconds. The following package will be installed or updated: openssl The following 2 additional packages will be installed: openssl098-shlibs pkgconfig Do you want to continue?

If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages or missing dependencies -- for example, telling you that the package fink-buildlock-pkgconfig-0.23-2 conflicts with something else -- fink has probably gotten confused by trying to build many packages at once. Try building just this current package pkgconfig (i.e, "fink build pkgconfig"). 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.
