Package: reportbug
Version: 3.35
Followup-For: Bug #418209
For me it doesn't happen always, but when it is reproducible when it
is and when it is not:
- when I do "reportbug gnome-media" it happens. Always.
- when I do "reportbug reportbug" it never happens.
- when I do "reportbug mutt" it does not happen.
The problem seems to be that reportbug starts "apt-cache dumpavail"
with a pipe as its stdout, but closes its side (the read side) of the
pipe before apt-cache is finished talking.
The last message that reporbug gives is:
Checking for newer versions at packages.debian.org...
Pressing ctrl-c gets us out of the problem and lets reportbug continue
on to the bug list.
Here's a strace of the infinitely-running apt-cache:
