Package: mini-dinstall
Severity: important
Hi,
currently, mini-dinstall just does:
os.close(0)
os.close(1)
os.close(2)
to close the file descriptors. However, they are not reopened to
/dev/null, which they should.
This causes any output from post-install scripts to be inserted into
the Sources file (and also seems to break mini-dinstall; hanging on
some futex when trying to write to the Sources file)
The right way to daemonize can be found in
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/278731 for instance.
