[fink-core] Setting build lock for a fetched binary .deb (UseBinaryDist: true) on HEAD

[Alexander K. H. <ale...@gm...>]

fink-0.24.99.cvs-20060426.1844

Setup:
textutils, which BuildDepends on gettext-dev, was not installed and
there was no binary for it on my system.
Started building ethereal, which BuildDepends on libgettext3-dev.
Then try to install textutils:

$ fink install textutils

### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Can't set build lock for textutils (2.1-102)

So fink is trying to set a buildlock even though there is a binary
available.  Now if I try that again, with an active ethereal buildlock
present:

fink install textutils

So it looks, to me anyway, like the list of presently available
binaries needs to be updated immediately after they're fetched.
