--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs21-bin-common Version: 21.4a-3 Severity: normal movemail does not check the error code after creating the hard link in line 344: tem = link (tempname, lockname); As a result it loops if the link fails with -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted). This happens for instance on smbfs mounted directories, because smbfs 3.0.22-1 does not support hard links any more (it used to). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages emacs21-bin-common depends on: ii emacs21-common 21.4a-3 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries emacs21-bin-common recommends no packages. -- no debconf information Bye, Hendrik
