ACK! I am trying to install things and suddenly I have what appears to be an issue with wait and waitpid on my system. (I am currently running unstable, which may be part of the problem) Anyway... if I try to install a package I get # dpkg -i perl-doc_5.6.1-7_all.deb dpkg-deb: wait for gzip -dc failed: No child processes dpkg: error processing perl-doc_5.6.1-7_all.deb (--install): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: perl-doc_5.6.1-7_all.deb and if I try to apt-get update I get Err http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages Waited, for gzip but it wasn't there Err http://http.us.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages Waited, for gzip but it wasn't there Err http://http.us.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages Waited, for gzip but it wasn't there download works... but the gzip bit seems to fail... every once in a while I am also getting "Can't ignore signal CHLD, forcing to default." from a setuid perl script of mine, which was working fine... but seem to be a result of the same problem, I would guess, since it deals with child processes... Any idea where I shoud start looking to track this down, I am stymied.
