Hello everyone, I've been having some trouble with dpkg and afaik it is a bug.
Can someone confirm this is worth a bugreport ? _Symptoms:_ Sometimes (not all packages, not always) dpkg fails as follows: #+v dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/noatun-plugins_4%3a3.1.0-2_i386.deb (--unpack): failed to realloc for variable buffer: Cannot allocate memory #-v _Research:_ Searching the archive reveals this bug has already been reported 2 years ago (#85040) and was apparantly solved ... so it shouldn't be happening on this version of dpkg. _SystemInfo:_ dpkg: 1.10.9 (i386) (same result with version 1.9.21 (i386)) dselect: 1.10.9 libc6: 2.3.1-11 debian: stable/testing/unstable kernel: 2.4.19 arch: i686 (duron 1000Mhz) ram: 512MB (Since some bugs with dpkg had to do with locales I checked that it does happen with LC_ALL=C and LANG=C) _Question:_ Is this a bug ? If so, should I reopen the original #85040 ? (Is that even possible ?) Please be gentle since I am not an expert and have never submitted a bugreport.
