Er, does dpkg treat "no files installed" the same
as "package not
installed"? Buildlocks do a lot of their magic in
their PreRm script,
so removing the indicator that the "empty"
buildlock pkg is installed
might not be the same thing as actually removing it. Best to
try to
'fink remove' (or 'sudo dpkg -r') the buildlock package
first (if
possible) before editing the status file manually. FWIW,
buildlocks do
actually have a file in them (to supress this warning, among
other
reasons
