Bug#381178: f-prot-installer: f-prot scripts enter endless loop in i386 chroot environment on amd64 machine

[Juergen Kosel <juergen.kosel@gmx.de>]

Package: f-prot-installer
Version: 0.5.14
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello,

I have installed f-prot in an i386 chroot environment on an AMD64 computer
with amd64 kernel, as described in
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id271960

When started, f-prot consumes all available cpu time
and don't terminate (it seems to have entered an endless loop).
This even hapens with
f-prot -help

I found out, that the binary executable
/usr/lib/f-prot/f-prot
runs fine. So I believe, that the bug is located in the scripts
which should start the f-prot binary.


Greetings
