this is strange: update-menus checks twice status before using it. Thanks a lot for all your effort, but I still cannot reproduce this issue: I tried on an up-to-date sid system and update-menus works fine. If you strace update-menus on a working system, you see someting like: write(2, "update-menus[30226]: Dpkg is not "..., 65) = 65 pipe([4, 5]) = 0 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7ff0b3046780) = 30227 I am very interested to know what happen on broken systems. Maybe you can run strace outside the chroot to catch that ?
