Hi Fink Maintainers,

I am trying to install a package (Gnuplot) whose installation fails because it can’t find the package emacs whose installation attempts mostly fail because it can’t install xinitrc-1.5-103.  I say “mostly” because emacsen is the virtual package that gives the user seven options for emacs.  Five of the seven options fail because fink can’t install xinitrc-1.5-103.  The details of the error message associated with xinitrc-1.5-103 are:

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

/opt/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing xinitrc (--install):

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

The other emacs packages fail for other reasons and I will submit a separate note for those two variants.

Thank you for reading and maintaining fink.

Aric
