Yes. The "tree" starting at dpkg was linear, with one child for each process, except for who which was a leaf.
I just had a look at the code. /usr/lib/python2.5/site- packages/landscape/lib/sysstats.py uses twisted.internet.utils.getProcessOutputAndValue to call "who -q". Therefore the actual cause of this bug might also lie in python-twisted- core, which might for some reason have failed to reap this dead child. Should this bug here therefore be marked as affecting twisted as well as landscape-client? I cannot reproduce the issue by calling landscape-sysinfo manually. If I hadn't been in such a hurry, I might have thought of stracing landscape- sysinfo, but it's too late for that now. -- landscape-common.postinst stuck with defunct who https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277038 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
