Subject: dpkg-source won't work under at

Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998 03:19:22 +0300

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.23.2

I seem to be unable to run dpkg-source (or dpkg-buildpackage, for that
matter) from under at, even though it works directly from the command
line. Transcript follows; notice the line where dpkg-source says md5sum
died from signal 127.

Urgh.  Can you run it under strace, please ?

Thanks,
Ian.

The strace (with -f) output (40 kB) is at
http://www.iki.fi/liw/debian/dpkg-source.strace.

Has something set SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN ?  Look at this, near the end of
the trace:

23024 _exit(0)                          = ?
23020 <... read resumed> "", 4096)      = 0
23020 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
23020 close(4)                          = 0
23020 munmap(0x4002b000, 4096)          = 0
23020 sigaction(SIGHUP, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}) = 0
23020 sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}) = 0
23020 sigaction(SIGQUIT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}) = 0
23020 wait4(23024, 0xbffff644, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)

Either something has been messing with SIGCHLD (perhaps at is broken)
or your kernel has a bug.

Ian.

Yes, at seems to set SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN.

I would appreciate any rationale when reassigning that bug to
this package.  It may be a bug in at but at is not maintained
upstream anymore so I have to deal with it on my own.  I have
to learn what you want to achieve and why you want to get it
that way.

Thus if you want to have this problem fixed, I need your help.

Regards,

	Joey
