Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.

alpine:latest is the latest stable release. I encountered this on
alpine:edge, which is our rolling release development version (basically
Debian Sid). It is interesting that it doesn't seem to fail in
alpine:latest though. However, I can reproduce it in a fresh alpine:edge
Docker image using the following commands:
$ docker run -it alpine:edge
/ # cat /etc/alpine-release
3.17_alpha20221110
/ # apk add build-base ncurses-dev xz coreutils gzip bzip2-dev
linux-headers perl zlib-dev po4a tar libmd-dev
/ # wget
https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.21.11.tar.xz
/ # tar -xvf dpkg_1.21.11.tar.xz
/ # cd dpkg-1.21.11
/ # ./configure --disable-nls
/ # make -j$(nproc)
/ # make -C scripts/ check
I haven't tried reproducing the failure on alpine:latest yet so please
let me know if you are also not able to reproduce the hang on alpine:edge.
Greetings
Sören
