Package: apt Version: 1.0.9.4 Severity: serious Justification: Regression, breaks other software (e.g. puppet)
Dear Maintainer, apt 1.0.9.4 does not work correctly when run as a session leader, reporting a failed ioctl on the pty used by dpkg. When called by puppet, it emits the following output: Error: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install ntpdate' returned : Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... Recommended packages: lockfile-progs The following NEW packages will be installed: ntpdate 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/74.1 kB of archives. After this operation, 233 kB of additional disk space will be used. E: Setting TIOCSCTTY for slave fd 18 failed! - ioctl (1: Operation not permitted) Selecting previously unselected package ntpdate.

Apart from the error message, it also appears that apt is trying to close its own control terminal, thus SIGHUP'ing itself, signaling an unclean exit: 23631 open("/dev/pts/2", O_RDWR|O_CLOEXEC) = 19 ... 23631 close(19) = 0 23631 close(18) = 0 23631 --- SIGHUP {si_signo=SIGHUP, si_code=SI_KERNEL} --- 23631 +++ killed by SIGHUP +++ This has the side-effect of puppet marking the package installation as failed and all downstream dependencies as unsatisfied. This behavior was introduced in commit 299aea924c and can be trivially reproduced using setsid: # setsid -w apt-get install sm </dev/null Reading package lists...
