Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.20 Severity: normal Hi,
After aptitude install multipath-tools, the freshly started daemon holds on the aptitude-dpkg communication pipe: # ls -l /proc/$(pgrep multipathd)/fd total 9 lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 0 -> /dev/null l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 1 -> /dev/console l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 2 -> /dev/console l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 26 -> pipe:[2996310971] l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 3 -> /var/run/multipathd.pid lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 4 -> socket:[2996311012] lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 5 -> /dev/xvda lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 6 -> socket:[2996311013] lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:12 7 -> socket:[2996311017] # invoke-rc.d multipath-tools restart # ls -l /proc/$(pgrep multipathd)/fd total 8 lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:16 0 -> /dev/null l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:16 1 -> /dev/console l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:16 2 -> /dev/console l-wx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:16 3 -> /var/run/multipathd.pid lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:16 4 -> socket:[2996312215] lr-x------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:16 5 -> /dev/xvda lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:16 6 -> socket:[2996312216] lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2008-06-23 17:16 7 -> socket:[2996312218] I think this pipe should be closed (just like a File trigger FD) before spawning children.
