Bug#206187: apt-get update fails to get index package list and therefore does nothing
OK, here is a complete transcription of a session, where I ran "perl -w -e
""" before and after "apt-get upgrade":
mafalda:~# perl -w -e ""
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

All this was ran in the same remote session through SSH using putty in a
Windows 2000 client.
Thanks.

There was no line like "Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default"? I
see it happen below when perl is invoked; I would expect it to be here as
well. did you run perl in the same shell where you ran apt, or a different
one? If so, what was the difference?
