[Bug 1177720] Re: Problem with custom InstallProgress

[Julian Andres Klode]

Nobody except you seems to have used this DepCache.commit() The problem
is that we do not set the child_pid attribute of the progress handler,
thus failing. If we do this, we hit some more bugs, which I fixed in the
attached patch.

Fixed in Debian git, commits:

  Hello,

  I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and python-apt 0.8.3ubuntu7. I wrote a
  small Python program (attached) to install a package. It doesn't have
  custom fork(), but program behaves like it does.
