I'm seeing the same on 10.6 after an rsync update. Here's the result of "fink install fink-mirrors" after the error occurred in the middle of the "fink selfupdate" process: $ fink install fink-mirrors Information about 12707 packages read in 2 seconds. The following package will be installed or updated: fink-mirrors Setting runtime build-lock... dpkg-deb -b /sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-buildlock-fink-mirrors-0.36.1.1-1 /sw/src/fink.build dpkg-deb: building package `fink-buildlock-fink-mirrors-0.36.1.1-1' in `/sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock-fink-mirrors-0.36.1.1-1_2013.12.27-17.29.46_darwin-i386.deb'. Installing build-lock package... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock-fink-mirrors-0.36.1.1-1_2013.12.27-17.29.46_darwin-i386.deb Invalid type 'q' in pack at /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait line 41. ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 25 Can't set build lock for fink-mirrors (0.36.1.1-1) If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages or missing dependencies -- for example, telling you that the package fink-buildlock-fink-mirrors-0.36.1.1-1 conflicts with something else -- fink has probably gotten confused by trying to build many packages at once. Try building just this current package fink-mirrors (i.e, "fink build fink-mirrors"). 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.
