According to the changelog the patch was reverted to fix bug 537241. (fsync making dpkg too slow)
dpkg (1.15.5.6ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low * Revert fsync during package unpack for now; it's unacceptably slow for packages with lots of small files, and we can't ship beta-1 this way. We'll do something better once it's decided upstream (LP: #537241). -- Colin Watson <cjwat...@ubuntu.com> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:04:38 +0000 ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Triaged -- [MASTER] Exec format error : package failed to install/remove : installation/removal script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
