When I try to install packages I get the messages below. If I reboot I can install packages for about 10 minutes till the problem rears its ugly head once again. It seems to be a problem in the default CHLD handler, but I don't know for sure.
Can anyone offer advice? www:/home/ant# apt-get install dnsmasq Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
