Seems like you are on to something :). Some googling led me here: https://blog.nelhage.com/2010/02/a-very-subtle-bug/ It talks about how python ignores SIGPIPE and shows how it can be worked around when using subprocess.Popen. I can solve the problem by adding the following line in /usr/sbin/pkg_add: === $SIG{PIPE} = 'DEFAULT'; === -- Patrik Lundin
