Re: Bug#60399: crashes on installation



i experienced this bug on two seperate systems, both fresh installs of
potato from the netboot test cd on cdimage.debian.org. one a k6/266 and the
other a k6-2/350. i remember at least one other person reporting the same
bug on this list the morning after i noticed it.

ben, any way we could get dpkg-deb to print the signal that killed it's
child?
