Re: Gnuplot install error

I tried a few different versions of emacs.  Each attempt failed, although the reason depended upon the version I attempted to install.  I’ll provide a description below, but I would like to know if this should be a separate post on the mailing list?

When attempting to install emacsen via fink, seven options are given as emacsen is a virtual package.  These options are below:

The requested package "emacsen" is a virtual package, provided by several packages

(1)	emacs24-24.5-4
(2)	emacs24-nox-24.5-4
(3)	emacs25-25.3-2
(4)	emacs25-nox-25.3-2
(5)	emacs26-26.3-3
(6)	emacs26-app-26.3-1
(7)	emacs26-nox-26.3-3

The default choice is [7] emacs26-nox-26.3-3.  That fink install fails with the output below:

Reading buildlock packages...
/opt/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /opt/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/x11/xinitrc_1.5-103_darwin-x86_64.deb

Errors were encountered while processing:

### execution of /opt/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package xinitrc-1.5-103

The above failure mode is also the same as when selecting option (2) of the seven (i.e. can’t install package xinitrc-1.5-103).  I also attempted to install emacs via option (3) emacs25-25.3-2.  This also failed, but with a different final gasp.

Please let me know if I need to create a new message thread to address this.  It seems that maybe the Gnuplot installation is failing because the emacs installations are failing?  Your insights are appreciated.

Thank you,

Aric

The package "emacsen-common” is present in my fink installation.  An attempt to install “emacsen” [virtual package] asks me to pick a version to install (I chose emacs26), but that installation also failed, albeit with a different message.  I provide the last details regarding emacs as supporting information only-  it was my limited attempt to address the “No emacs found” error that appears to have crashed the installation.
