Package: apt-xapian-index

Severity: important

FATAL -> Failed to fork.
I don't know where the problem can be (and if it is on my side).
at least

seems OK.
The first cron email about the failure is from sept. 13 (coherent with the date
sept. 6 of the ls)
The only python package I update during this week is python-numpy.
All the best,
Pierre B.
