--- Begin Message ---Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.0.2-7_i386 When I run "dpkg -i xserver-xfree86_4.0.2-7_i386.deb" the package is uncompressed and get stuck on the configuration stage. I have to hit <Ctrl-C> to get out of this. In the same time that dpkg is trying to install this package my mouse becomes completely mad. It select some text randomly when I move it, or jump from a point to another ramdomly. I've got a PS2 mouse. Actually I'm pretty sure that the package is uncompressed because I installed it by hand. But this problem seems very strange to me. I run an strace on the command line and I get: ===== rename("/var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i", "/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0006") = 0 open("/var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 4 fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40017000 write(4, "#padding\n#padding\n#padding\n#padd"..., 4096) = 4096 write(4, "padding\n#padding\n#padding\n#paddi"..., 512) = 512 _llseek(4, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0 write(4, "Package: xserver-xfree86\nStatus:"..., 1183) = 1183 ftruncate(4, 1183) = 0 fsync(4) = 0 close(4) = 0 munmap(0x40017000, 4096) = 0 rename("/var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i", "/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0007") = 0 open("/var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 4 fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40017000 write(4, "#padding\n#padding\n#padding\n#padd"..., 4096) = 4096 write(4, "padding\n#padding\n#padding\n#paddi"..., 512) = 512 _llseek(4, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0 stat("/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.postinst", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=3253, ...}) = 0 fork() = 7789 rt_sigaction(SIGQUIT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0 wait4(7789, ===== No, I didn't forget anything.
