Bug#189555: xlibs postinst failes
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-6
Severity: important
Tags: sid
I already filed a bugreport against dpkg, but maybe you could find the
reason for the segfault, as xlibs is the only package where i found the
following behaviour:
Installing xlibs via dpkg doesn't lead to success, as many files are
missing after "successful" installation, i suspect that postinst fails
silently, because if i install xlibs passing -D2 to dpkg (and only if i
pass -D2), dpkg tells me that postinst segfaults.
using strace dpkg -i xlibs... (without -D2) reveals:
[...]
stat64("/var/lib/dpkg/info/xlibs.postinst", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755,
st_size=7196, ...}) = 0
fork() = 13629
rt_sigaction(SIGQUIT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
wait4(13629, [WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0], 0, NULL) = 13629
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
[...]
It appears xlibs.postinst exists before it performs anything.
