Thanks!
That makes it indeed easier to reproduce :)

So, my findings:
- the error "reopen stdout: Bad file descriptor" happens in
  /usr/share/perl5/Debian/PkgKde/SymbolsHelper/Patching.pm line 246:
  wait_child($pid, nocheck => 1);
- that's when the formerly assembled $pid gets executed
- looking at $pid above, I notice that both to_handle and
  error_to_handle are set to $outfile (a temp file created before)
- just out of curiosity, I commented out the error_to_handle line
  (241), and now `pkgkde-symbolshelper batchpatch -v 5.7.0 *.log'
  passes
- running `pkgkde-symbolshelper batchpatch -v 5.7.0 *.log' again
  fails with failed hunk errors from patch, which also doesn't look
  so bad

Not sure where this leaves us, especially since I neither know
Dpkg::IPC nor understand the apply() sub in
Debian::PkgKde::SymbolsHelper::Patching.

Maybe guillem and/or modax as the respective authors can help here.  

(And I also don't know where exactly the problem / changed behaviour
with perl 5.24 lies. Since the spawn/wait_pid functions are from
Dpkg::IPC, I guess looking into Dpkg::IPC might be interesting.)


Cheers,
gregor
