Package: msva-perl Version: 0.2-2 Severity: normal msva-perl needs to fiddle with the SIGCHLD handler to do its thing. That's fine
However, when it spawns a subprocess, that subprocess inherits msva-perl's choice to ignore SIGCHLD, which turns out to be problematic for some commonly-spawned subprocesses. For example, seahorse-agent (see #585505) and gnome-session (see #585504) are both buggy if they inherit a SIG_IGN action for their SIGCHLD handler. Upstream's msva-perl contains a fix for this bug (revision ee8c2b6fdb4c in the msva-perl git repo), which isn't yet released, but probably needs to be available if people are going to use msva-perl with a standard gnome desktop environment. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages msva-perl depends on: ii libconvert-asn1-perl 0.22-1 Perl module for encoding and decod ii libcrypt-x509-perl 0.40-1 Parse X.509 certificates with Perl ii libhttp-server-simple-perl 0.43-1 simple stand-alone HTTP server ii libjson-perl 2.21-1 Perl module to parse and convert t ii libnet-server-perl 0.97-1 An extensible, general perl server ii monkeysphere 0.31~pre-1 leverage the OpenPGP web of trust ii perl-modules [libparent-perl] 5.10.1-12 Core Perl modules msva-perl recommends no packages. msva-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
