Control: tags -1 + moreinfo
Hi both, 2014-04-05 18:43 Axel Beckert:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.10-1 Severity: normal Control: found -1 0.6.8.2-1.2 Hi, To demo the aptitude TUI, I occassionally run it in a fresh chroot (without my individual settings), usually with "cowbuilder --login". cowbuilder/pbuilder mounts /proc and /dev/pts, but doesn't seem to mount /sys. In such an environment, aptitude crashes occassionally during interactive usage as follows: root@nemo2:/# aptitude -u Uncaught exception: Unable to read from stdin: No such file or directory root@nemo2:/# Some more details: * Does not crash immediately, but within minutes of normal interactive usage. * "-u" seems not relevant. * Not sure what exactly triggers it. Seems to also happen when I don't touch any keys, but I'm not 100% sure. * Does not happen if I mount /sys inside the chroot with "mount -t sysfs none /sys" beforehand. * Already happenend with 0.6.8.2-1.2 back in November, but I'm not sure if it crashed with the same error message. IIRC it segfaulted back then. Didn't have time to investigate back then as it initially happened during a presentation.

Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.11-1 Followup-For: Bug #744090 Dear Maintainer, Sadly, I cannot remount sysfs in a vserver instance, so the work-around in the initial report do not work. This is a very annoying problem and usually happens when scrolling through the list of update items.
Did you experience this problem lately, esp. with more recent versions? If so, have you found a way to reproduce it? I am a bit baffled about this because /sys shouldn't affect the behaviour of stdin. -- Manuel A.
