Package: python-apt Version: 0.7.7.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch --- Please enter the report below this line. --- apt/progress.py is using select to check the status of dpkg, but it will fail if there is an interruption not directly related with dpkg (such as child process exiting or something else related to the main program). From the select man page: [EINTR] A signal was delivered before the time limit expired and before any of the selected events occurred. The normal course of action is to just retry the select call. diff -wruN python-apt-0.7.7.1-old/apt/progress.py python-apt-0.7.7.1/apt/progress.py --- python-apt-0.7.7.1-old/apt/progress.py 2008-07-25 14:52:16.000000000 -0400 +++ python-apt-0.7.7.1/apt/progress.py 2008-09-17 10:07:08.000000000 -0400 @@ -203,7 +203,9 @@ return os.fork() def waitChild(self): while True: - select.select([self.statusfd],[],[], self.selectTimeout) + try: select.select([self.statusfd],[],[], self.selectTimeout) + except select.error, e: + if e[0] != EINTR: raise self.updateInterface() (pid, res) = os.waitpid(self.child_pid,os.WNOHANG) if pid == self.child_pid: --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable www.emdebian.org 500 unstable gulus.usherbrooke.ca 500 testing gulus.usherbrooke.ca 1 experimental gulus.usherbrooke.ca --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==========================================-+-============= python (<< 2.6) | 2.5.2-2 python (>= 2.4) | 2.5.2-2 python-central (>= 0.6.7) | 0.6.8 libapt-inst-libc6.7-6-1.1 | libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 | libc6 (>= 2.7-1) | 2.7-13 libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) | 1:4.3.2-1 libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1) | 4.3.2-1 lsb-release | 3.2-20
