Thanks, that's very gracious. Today we tripped over a real symptom of this problem. When running via socat:
mart...@mercury1-a:~$ sudo dpkg -i ~/software.jessies.org/work/evergreen/.generated/amd64_Linux/bin/org.jes sies.evergreen_5.204.2884_amd64.deb dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: wait for dpkg-split failed: No child processes mart...@mercury1-a:~$ I'm told that dpkg forks to call dpkg-split (which succeeded) then waitpid()s on the child, but gets back a ECHILD. With the patched socat, dpkg worked fine, so I'm not suggesting or requesting any further or different action here. I just thought it might be useful to others if googling for this symptom were to take them to the bug report. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
