As per the ticket guidelines linked prominently from the New Ticket page, please don't set the Milestone field, and remember to preview and use WikiFormatting. The High priority is reserved for the use of MacPorts team members.

For the lock to be released, the port process that is holding it needs to exit. Trac is not for tech support, so if you have further questions about using MacPorts, please use an appropriate venue: http://www.macports.org/contact.php
