I have difficulties installing a package on a Debian Sarge machine. The problem is rather strange, installation fails when I run apt-get remotely over ssh and works fine when I work on the console.
In more details: If I login to a remove host using ssh and run command apt-get install fam everything works perfectly. However I experience a problem with installing FAM (only fam) using a script that runs installation command on remove host via SSH. Remote session gets stack on starting fam daemon. When terminated by Ctrl-C command process on a remote machine leaves dirty "lock" /var/lib/dpkg/lock and /var/cache/apt/archives/lock. "apt-get install pkg_name" would not work on the remote machine until I remove "dirty" locks and run "dpkg --configure -a" to finish fam installation. Problem can be recreate by following steps: 1) Make a bash script install_fam.sh #!/bin/bash ssh $1 "apt-get install fam" 2) If fam is installed on the remove machine uninstall it and run the script to install fam on the remote machine $ ./install_fam.sh remote_machine Reading Package Lists...

There is obviously a bug somewhere but it is not obvious to me where to report it, is this is this a problem with fam or openssh? What do I need to do to report this bug.
