Typically, when a package fails there the actual error is printed, then there are a bunch of other messages which are results of that initial failure.  Getting the output from the beginning of the spew of error messages is often sufficient.

There’s no 10.15 binary distribution, so that’s what’s responsible for the messages above.  You can use “fink configure” to turn that off.

With regard to your launch build issue, did you try using “fink configure” to restore the fink-bld user like I suggested?  And if you did, is the build failure literally the same?
