Cool, thanks for that. I'm seeing:

[pk_spawn_emit_whole_lines] pk-spawn.c:135 (18:42:10):   emitting stderr allow-interrupt        true
[pk_spawn_emit_whole_lines] pk-spawn.c:135 (18:42:10):   emitting stderr no-percentage-updates
[pk_spawn_check_child] pk-spawn.c:185 (18:42:14):        Running fork successful
[pk_spawn_check_child] pk-spawn.c:200 (18:42:14):        emitting finished 0

...and then the script exits (cleanly) with nothing else on stdout or
stderr. Ken, do you see this too? I really don't see what could be the
problem here - the only thing it could be is the way we check if a
script has completed:

/* check if the child exited */
if (waitpid (spawn->priv->child_pid, &status, WNOHANG) != spawn->priv->child_pid)
	return TRUE;

Would this cause problems for anything the conary backend does?

Richard.
