Perhaps dpkg mmaps the file, so it always gets EAGAIN. Anyway, I had this error while dpkg was installing hdimage for dosemu. Everything got installed fine, so the error message is in error. :) You probably should log messages via syslog so that they don't mess with output from foreground jobs. AFA I can see open() should block until dpkg run is complete -- the only test I can think of is to poll with non-blocking open() and see if it makes any difference.
