Please Help! Can't install packages!
When I try to install packages I get the messages below.
If I reboot I can install packages for about 10 minutes till
the problem rears its ugly head once again. It seems to be a
problem in the default CHLD handler, but I don't know for sure.
Can anyone offer advice?
