i love debian.

had a problem with some machines' run-parts never finishing. dpkg -S ... debianutils. okay, upgrade that. yup, changed, but what?

# zcat /usr/share/doc/debianutils/changelog.gz |head
debianutils (1.16.1) unstable; urgency=medium

* Non-maintainer upload
* Apply patch from Garth Mollett to fix race in the select handling:
on SMP machines the child process may have finished when we hit the select
and we could end up waiting forever. Closes: Bug#114864,#132539
