I've got the latest unstable fink on OS X 10.4.1. Tonight I ran
into a strange problem with a buildlock from a build that was done
many days ago. It was preventing fink from removing gettext-dev so
it could install libgettext3-dev.
I eventually forced its hand by trying a "fink remove gettext-dev",
which failed, but fink then suggested a "fink remove --recursive
gettext-dev", which worked.
While I appreciate that I eventually received a helpful hint from
fink, it seems strange that the problem occurred in the first
place. I don't know if this is a known bug, or if I stumbled
across something new.

It's not new, and in such cases you should just remove the buildlock
rather than the actual package.
