This is mostly just to let Marcus know there is one thing fewer to worry
about. I didn't see a hurd BTS report about this to close, though I know
it's been reported here more than once.
I've fixed the bugs involving #! execution that most people probably saw as
a mysterious error like "/dev/fd/3: Bad file descriptor" while trying to
run the debconf postinst script (the "Setting up debconf" phase from dpkg).
You will need to upgrade both your exec server and your libdiskfs
(including relinking statically-linked filesystems like ext2fs.static) to
get the fixes. If your symptom changes from "Bad file descriptor" to
"(ipc/send) invalid port right" then you updated your libdiskfs but failed
to update your exec. The new code is now checked in to cvs, and log
entries and comments in the changed code describe the details for people
interested in that sort of thing.
For me, this leaves only one thorn remaining in my side for
doing `dpkg --pending --configure' (which will go away as soon
as Marcus has all the newest dpkg* packages integrated).
Enjoy,
Roland
