Package: apt Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny1 Severity: normal
We have scripts that run apt-get upgrade -o APT::Status-Fd=1 to easily capture apt-get's progress along with its regular output. This works until apt forks a child process (such as to run localepurge after upgrade); it closes stdout on fork, and localepurge aborts because it can't output anything. I tried APT::Keep-Fds, but that only avoids closing FDs that wouldn't otherwise be closed (which the status FD is), and it doesn't work on FDs 0, 1, or 2. Should apt avoid setting FD_CLOEXEC if statusFd is 1 or 2? Or is it simply unsupported to use a status FD of 1 or 2? -- Package-specific info: -- (/etc/apt/preferences present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (800, 'unstable'), (700, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2009.01.31 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages.
