Perhaps dpkg mmaps the file, so it always gets EAGAIN.
Anyway, I had this error while dpkg was installing hdimage for dosemu.
Everything got installed fine, so the error message is in error. :)
You probably should log messages via syslog so that they don't mess
with output from foreground jobs. AFA I can see open() should block
until dpkg run is complete -- the only test I can think of is to poll
with non-blocking open() and see if it makes any difference.
