With other SF projects this happened to me occasionally.
- Go to the Alexandria project tracker <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001>
- Submit New:
Category: "Project CVS Services"
Group: "Administrative"
Subject: "fink: Please remove stale CVS lock"
Body: "I've been waiting for about xxx number of hours now but still see: cvs server: [02:59:07] waiting for anoncvs_fink's lock in /cvsroot/fink/dists/10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/perlmods. Thanks for your help".
They usually responded very quick--within a few hours.
Normally anyone with CVS access to a project could submit the request but Fink has some special arrangements with SF, I wonder is there anyone on the Fink team who can remove the hidden stale lock files themselves? Or does SF expect support request from Fink to originate from our "Point Contact"? (I assume that would be Max?)
In any case I don't see any great harm in submitting the request yourself so you can get those new files into stable.

Dear Fink developers
I have a real problem here and don't know how to solve it: I am trying to commit some files I added with 'cvs add' to
/sw/fink/10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/perlmods
Now, if I do 'cvs ci -m "moved to stable based on positive feedback"' I get:
cvs server: [00:20:23] waiting for anoncvs_fink's lock in /cvsroot/fink/dists/10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/perlmods
every few seconds. This was yesterday and is still there today. So I can't commit these files. Could somebody else try to add some file to this path mentioned above to see if the problem is with the cvs server or with my client?
It seems to only happen in this directory since I just committed something to '/sw/fink/10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/devel' without any problems. This makes me believe that there is indeed a problem with the cvs server and some locking files.
Thanks a lot.
Christian.
PS: We had something similar here at university: They needed to manually remove some lock files from the cvs repository after a cvs client crashed during a commit.
