Upgrading libc6 only fails about half of the time, but other packages (tzdata for example) also fail sometimes with similar "out of memory errors": etting up tzdata (2007i-2) ... cowdancer: unexpected WIFEXITED status in waitpid /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst: line 29: /etc/timezone: Cannot allocate memory dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: tzdata E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) However, the bug goes away if I unset the libcowdancer.so LD_PRELOAD, I guess that's where the problem is in. Some more debugging shows that the errors occors in the call to debconf: + PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 ++ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY ++ '[' '' ']' ++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst configure 2.7-3 cowdancer: unexpected WIFEXITED status in waitpid /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: line 142: /etc/ld.so.conf: Cannot allocate memory So, I guess this really is a bug in cowdancer, although I have no idea what the problem could be.
