Bug#31521: dpkg: dpkg dying in eterm

[Fredrik Juhlin <laz@rjdk.com>]

Hello,

I'm experiencing the exact same problem, only I'm running xterm.
I've so far experienced it on systems running XFree86 3.3.2.3 and 3.3.3.
I'm afraid I can't give a history of dpkg, tar or gzip versions, only that
the ones I've used lately, which are:

ii  dpkg            1.4.0.23.2     Package maintenance system for Debian Linux
ii  tar             1.12-6         GNU tar
ii  gzip            1.2.4-27       The GNU compression utility.

It's always been hamm-installations though.

Oh, and trying it in a console instead did fix it.


Best regards,
