When I try to "darcs pull" an existing cl-variates checkout, I get this: Waiting for lock /home/quicklisp/quicklisp-controller/vcs-cache/cl-variates/8fdba34f923f1697c9fc5cfe92edcdac/_darcs/lock Couldn't get lock /home/quicklisp/quicklisp-controller/vcs-cache/cl-variates/8fdba34f923f1697c9fc5cfe92edcdac/_darcs/lock What should I do? Thanks, Zach

This looks like it's something on your end, judging by this FAQ: http://darcs.net/DiagnosticMessages#couldnt-get-lock-lock
What should I do?
Does the hint in the FAQ entry help? If not, there's still a pending plan to migrate all Darcs repositories to GitLab. I'm assuming that would eliminate problems like these too, right? Regards, -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

Fixing my local directory fixed it, thanks for the hint and sorry for the noise! Zach
