dpkg-deb/extract.c:~295: if (c1 != -1) waitsubproc(c1,"paste",0);

[Ian Jackson <ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk>]

I found this recently, apropos of Matthew remarking to me in person
about a `subprocess died with Broken pipe' problem in dpkg:

	  ohshite(_("failed to exec tar"));
	}
	close(p2[0]);
	waitsubproc(c3,"tar",0);
      }

      waitsubproc(c2,"gzip -dc",1);
295>  if (c1 != -1) waitsubproc(c1,"paste",0);
      if (oldformat && admininfo) {
	if (versionnum == 0.931F) {
	  movecontrolfiles(OLDOLDDEBDIR);
	} else if (versionnum == 0.932F || versionnum == 0.933F) {
	  movecontrolfiles(OLDDEBDIR);
	}
      }
    }

The `0' at the end of that line should be a `1'.  I'm too pissed[1]
now to find the real code and see if it's been fixed by now, but I
thought I should at least tell someone before I forget ...

Ian.
