/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -r fink-buildlock-xpaint-2.7.0-11

...and indeed there is no /sw/src/fink.build/root-xpaint-2.7.0-11/etc though there is /sw/src/fink.build/root-xpaint-2.7.0-11/sw/etc as one would expect (populated with app-defaults stuff).

...and there is probably a /sw/src/fink.build/root-xpaint-2.7.0-11/usr/X11R6/etc, I guess? And you are using one of Fink's packages for X11, not Apple's?

This is a bug in the xpaint package. I don't understand why it tries to mv the /etc and /usr directories instead of just "rm -rf"ing them. The Fink X11 packages for some historical reason don't have /etc/X11 as a real directory, only as a symlink, and they transmit this structure to programs built with xmkmf, so there is then no /etc directory in the buildroot.
