Thanks to Seth M. LaForge <sethml@burn.ofb.net> for his investigation... Seth writes: Aha, rooting around in the ReiserFS source, I found the problem. The ReiserFS rusapov hash only pays attention to the last log10(2^32) ~= 10 characters in the filename. The xfonts-75dpi package contains 185 files that end in "-1.pcf.gz". With ".dpkg-tmp" appended, all of those filenames hash to the same value. ReiserFS can deal with up to 127 files with the same hash in the same directory. dpkg doesn't delete the ".dpkg-tmp" files until it has unpacked everything, so when it gets 127 files into the installation, kaboom. For more information & possible solutions, see bug #107843 in the BTS. ( Wichert, this might be interresting for you too! :) ) Regards, Sander. -- | Waarom geeft een antwoordapparaat nooit antwoord als ik iets vraag? | Cistron Internet: php/c/perl/html/c++/sed/awk/linux/sql/cgi/security | 1024D/08CEC94D - 34B3 3314 B146 E13C 70C8 9BDB D463 7E41 08CE C94D
