I'd say that this is rather unlikely.
It was probably due to a full file system. The same problem occurred a couple of days ago, and the /tmp was full (I've heard that on the machine in question, the file system could quickly become full due to a known mounting problem). So, the error itself is not due to a bug, but the error message is buggy ("Success" is wrong here because te write failed). IMHO, the problem is that for some reason, the errno value has been lost. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
