/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?

Nope and yup:

/sw/src/fink.build-10> ls root-xpaint-2.7.0-11/
   0 ./     0 ../     0 DEBIAN/     0 sw/
/sw/src/fink.build-11> ls root-xpaint-2.7.0-11/sw/
   0 ./     0 ../     0 bin/     0 etc/     0 share/

no usr/X11R6 in the root-xpaint tree anywhere... and yes, I'm using Xorg compiled with fink and /etc/X11 is a symlink.

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.

Maybe something happens in the wrong order (trying to mv after rm -f)?
