I can't reproduce that error my systems. (I'm always logged in as a regular user) bora:~$ dpkg --list source modules procps Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Rev Description +++-============-=========-====-=============================================== ii source 1.2.13 4 Linux kernel source. ii modules 1.2.8 1 Linux module utilities. ii procps 0.97 4 The /proc file system utilities. Just guessing: maybe top reuses stdin on /proc ? I didn't look into the sources though. -- Siggy (the middle S.)
