Hello, I have to apologize for reacting too fast, and put blame on the Hurd developers. Indeed, shame on me.
I tried some hours extracting the mysterious exit() bug from the dpkg sources, and then I had 1000 lines of codes which were self contained. Well, compiling and running them under Linux does produce *the same error*. It appears that the dpkg-1.4.1.4 source code tree is BROKEN. It is completely an upstream bug in the cleanup routine of dpkg (well, the experimental release only). Please don't blame the dpkg developers, I "stole" the code from Klee's home directory, it is in no way an official release. Again, I apologize for creating confusion about this. I don't think the time was wasted (I learned a lot about dpkg and debugging). I'll now try to put my energy in the dpkg-1.4.0.24 release, which works at least under linux. Anyone wants to join me in this effort? It seems that I'm just too stupid to do it alone :) At least I have learned why so few people are able to hack dpkg succesfull. The code is not a mess, but quite complicated :) Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
