/dev/fd/4 ??

[Gerhard Poul <gp@office.atnet.at>]

Hi,

what's /dev/fd/4??

I get such errors very frequently when installing new packages on my i486
running Hurd. :-(((

shadow:~# dpkg -i binutils_2.9.1.0.19a-4.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package binutils.
(Reading database ... 4181 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking binutils (from binutils_2.9.1.0.19a-4.deb) ...
Setting up binutils (2.9.1.0.19a-4) ...
/dev/fd/4: /dev/fd/4: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing binutils (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 binutils

Is this a real device?? How can I create it??

regards,
  gerhard
