Package: menu
Version: 2.1.41
Severity: normal
Using automatic installation via FAI I see a hanging "update-menus
--trigger" call causing the build to fail:
root 22433 0.0 0.2 2696 1312 pts/0 S+ 14:57 0:00 /bin/sh
/var/lib/dpkg/info/menu.postinst triggered /usr/share/menu
root 22434 97.6 0.2 3144 1236 pts/0 R+ 14:57 2:24 update-menus
--trigger
strace-ing the PID outside the chroot gives me tons of EBADF which
might be the reason for the 100% cpu load and the hanging process:
[...]
read(4293087900, 0xf7f18000, 8192) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
read(4293087900, 0xf7f18000, 8192) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
read(4293087900, 0xf7f18000, 8192) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
read(4293087900, 0xf7f18000, 8192) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
[...]
Killing the update-menus process and manually invoking update-menus
inside the chroot displays:
# update-menus -v
update-menus[12725]: Dpkg is not locking dpkg status area, good.
update-menus[12725]: Reading installed packages list...
acpi-support
acpi-support-base
acpid
adduser
[...]
-> it displays the whole package list and then it just hangs (same
problem as running via FAI).
Funnily it works when invoked through strace:
# strace -o /tmp/log -ffff update-menus -v
update-menus[11649]: Dpkg is not locking dpkg status area, good.

Do you have any idea what's going on here?
Please let me know if you need any further information, I've a
chroot available where I can easily reproduce/work on the problem.
System information: building a Debian/sid i386 system on a amd64 box.
ii libc6 2.9-6
GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii menu 2.1.41
generates programs menu for all menu-aware applications
