Comment 42 for bug 1604750

Hi,

Thanks. I have had it happen only two times in a few months after that
patch fix, so like you it still happens but I put up with it and didn't
bother to spend time to fix for sure.
But yes it is a 'timing' issue and the script should do something like loop
and re-check for when dpkg.log does not change etc before returning.

take care,
mark
