Comment 2 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:15:34 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Hi,
Sorry just yesterday I understood the problem , can you check if dpkg-1.20.7.1-2.fc35 fix it for you ?
Comment 5 Martin Pitt 2021-05-03 04:44:22 UTC 
I first confirmed the bug on current Fedora CoreOS (34). Then I realized that there is no Rawhide OSTree stream for CoreOS. So at least for me this is a bit difficult to test -- do you have a build for Fedora 34 as well? Thanks!
Comment 6 Sergio Basto 2021-05-03 09:29:36 UTC 
I want review and fix some details on dpkg and also update it, I had the honor to be contact by one of dpkg author from debian that made a little review .
but I didn't have time yet .

FEDORA-2021-354047f5ab has been submitted as an update to Fedora 34. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-354047f5ab
Comment 8 Martin Pitt 2021-05-03 11:58:29 UTC 
First I upgraded to Fedora 34 (as the coreos/testing branch is still F33):

  ostree rebase fedora:fedora/x86_64/coreos/next
  reboot

Then I confirmed the bug with current F34 dpkg:

  rpm-ostree install dpkg
  # [..]
  # error: Running %post for dpkg: bwrap(/bin/sh): Child process killed by signal 1; run `journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(dpkg.post)'` for more information

Test the proposed update:

  rpm-ostree install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/dpkg/1.20.7.1/2.fc34/x86_64/dpkg-1.20.7.1-2.fc34.x86_64.rpm
  # succeeded!
  reboot
  dpkg --help

Cheers!
