 Hi folks, `fraid I`m still having bother with gzip and dselect. I`ve
 upgraded to libc6 quite successfully. Everything works hunkydory but
 dselect always gives this error when installing. dpkg -i works fine
 on it`s own.
 
 Error;
 
 gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
 dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1
 dpkg: error processing 
 debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/doc/doc-linux-html_98.01-1.deb 
 (--install):
  subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
 
 
 Any ideas? Dselect is currently broken till I can get this fixed.

Error update: This problem only occurs when I launch Dselect from KDE
like this;

sudo -u root Dselect

If I log into a console and use dselect as root it installs fine. Defo
a permissions thing.

Ozzy,

I've seen similar permissions problems with sudo before, though not on
my bo machine; basically, subprocesses of a given sudo command will
sometimes be run not as root, but as me (plays havoc on 'sudo make') -
my only suspicion is that perhaps the real user id isn't getting set.
(I don't have access to a machine that sudo misbehaves on at the
moment) Tell me, what do 'sudo id -u' and 'sudo id -ru' display?  If
one of these commands displays something other than '0', then you
should file a bug against the hamm sudo.  (On my bo machine, both
commands report 0)

If both these commands display 0, you might still want to file a bug
against the hamm sudo anyway, though it won't be as descriptive.
