unused sequence?

[Michael Sobolev <mss@transas.com>]

Hello,

While figuring out what one message is for (I'm in process of translating
dpkg's messages into Russian), I found that in file lib/mlib.c file, at
line 158, a buffer (sbuf) is prepared for later reuse, but it's never
used: in case of error, the error message is just printed out.  I believe
this small patch should be applied.
