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.

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
