Package: libc6 Version: 2.9-6 Severity: important Hello Debian GLIBC maintainers,
popen is broken on some systems, though details are scare, it seems it affect some amd64 with libc6 version 2.9-6 and kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64. The following menu bugs are related to this problem: #520989 #520916 #511698 At least menu and libgnomevfs2-common are affected: Setting up libgnomevfs2-common (1:2.24.0-3) ... close failed: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/gconf-schemas", line 82, in <module> pids=os.popen('pidof gconfd-2').readlines()[0].split() IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor dpkg: error processing libgnomevfs2-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 update-menus call dpkg-query through popen, but the output of dpkg-query go to stdout.
