Desperately I tried also adding fsync, to no avail, both issues remain.
Non-working patch attached.
Maybe dynamic-wind is an inappropriate pattern here?
If I interrupt installation using Ctrl-C (which I normally don’t,
instead I unplug Ethernet), then I have to press Ctrl-C twice. Maybe
that could be related to why I need to resume twice?
I’m in the dark.

Florian
