Today I ran synaptic to remove a package, and dpkg went defunct :( I'm using the latest apt as of right now (0.7.6ubuntu14), and strace reveals that dpkg dies trying to read /dev/ptmx . some relevant info:
output from synaptic: Removing kcontrol ... Processing triggers for libc6 ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place strace results: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# readlink /proc/15359/fd/35 /dev/ptmx -- apt-get blocks on /dev/ptmx a lot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148806 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
