Version: 1.10.4
Severity: normal
With /tmp NFS mounted, dpkg issues the following:
rm: cannot remove directory `/tmp/dpkghXB5Pb': Directory not empty
rm cleanup failed, code 256
By the time I get to examine said directory, it is empty and can be removed.
As discussed in
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&th=e5a9b35be9dfa0b4&rnum=1
(ca. 1999) this is more than likely an issue with dpkg presuming "local" fs
semantics - dpkg unlinking a file while it's still open, and not waiting
till the dir is actually empty before trying to rmdir it.
Regards,
Ben

This is not a bug in dpkg; if your filesystem doesn't have UNIX
semantics, you are on your own and will see spurious errors like this one.
I'm closing this bug.
