This is actually Ubuntu hardy. I couldn't reproduce it now at home with sid / 0.48 but the setup is quite different, too. > I've noticed that too. > > What's the lock function they use? This comes from apt/libapt-pkg: apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc: int FD = open(File.c_str(),O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_NOFOLLOW,0640); ... fl.l_type = F_WRLCK; fl.l_whence = SEEK_SET; fl.l_start = 0; fl.l_len = 0; if (fcntl(FD,F_SETLK,&fl) == -1) Since it does an open O_RDWR first, maybe cowdancer tried to copy the file but fails? There was a cp related bug fix in 0.47. I didn't see any WIFEXITED related error message, though. Do you have any idea how I could verify if it is the same bug, short of installing a backported newer cowdancer? Thanks for your help.
