I actually fixed that a few days ago, just didn't think it was worth another package release.

I'm still seeing emails from root cron user with the error "Unable to take lock at /var/lock/pkgfile" This is with pkgtools 21-1. Is this a different bug I'm seeing? Or not working in v20 as stated here?

There's a ton of internal changes by now. It should be fixed in the next release.
