Thanks. To reproduce the error, you need to set up a customized Kubuntu install CD which includes webmin 1.360 (webmin's .deb may be downloaded from http://webmin.com/) among the packages to be installed by default. With the error, the automatic install will hang just after installation of webmin (because the UI will wait for the pipe to close).
However, due to another bug in Webmin, webmin's doesn't correctly recognize gutsy as a Debian distro, and so will fail to correctly set up its /etc/init.d script. Due to this, the hang will probably *not* happen in any case (... because the daemon will not start at all). In order to properly reproduce the bug, you'd need a feisty distro. Or arrange for the distro version in /etc/issue to be numeric (7.10) rather than alphabetic (gutsy).

Indeed, could it be that this is needed in case postinst scripts want to access the UI (for instance, in order to pop up dialog boxes with config questions?). If yes, then the error would be really webmin's and not apt-get's, and you may disregard this bug report. In that case, sorry for the confusion. -- apt-get does not correctly close its "progress monitoring" filedescriptor when invoking postinst scripts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
