Hi,

While trying to install x11-common on the target (NFS rootfs) using
apt-get. i hit this error...

(Reading database ... 4358 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking x11-common (from .../x11-common_1%3a7.3+18em1_all.deb) ...
open2: fork failed: Cannot allocate memory at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 59
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.3+18em1_all.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 12
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.3+18em1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Is this a known issue?
