Title:
regression in debconf-copydb when writing to stdout
Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:

Status in debconf package in Debian:

Bug description:
While debugging a FTBFS in Ubiquity, I observed that the usage of
debconf-copydb regressed when using version 1.5.85 of debconf. The
previous-in-ubuntu version 1.5.82 of debconf was OK.
That invocation looks roughly like:
debconf-copydb templatedb pipe --config=Name:pipe --config=Driver:Pipe
--config=InFd:none ...
Bisecting debconf from there found commit
5db857ade00953496bfdb7edb884296bebc41885:
"Avoid two-argument open"
Further tracing found the following change to Debconf/DbDriver/Pipe.pm around
line 120:
- open ($fh, '>-');
+ open ($fh, '>', \*STDOUT);
An additional symptom of this problem is GLOB files with names that look like:
GLOB(0x0123456789ab)
