As I understand, we can install packages either in binary form (with

results be the same in either case, at the end of the day?

My problem is the following. If I do fink updateall, the process fails
because python24 fails to install. Specifically, python24-socket fails
to install after failing to make a directory.

You have to find out why socket.so is not built in your case. This should be visible much earlier in your build log than what you had showed so far. It is perhaps even a problem in the configure phase.

As for why it tries to build python24 although you have the binary package installed: They are probably not the same version. Fink tries to install the latest available version.
