I just noticed this was a bug report from December, so I assume this was possibly one of the dpkg bugs where it was busy looing (#766242 or #766322), which is now fixed? Although those fixes migrated to testing on 2014-11-03, so I'm not sure. It would be nice to get more information of the environment at the time. But if it does not happen anymore then it might indeed be fixed already. :/ Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
