-From: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
-Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 00:51:13 +0100
-Subject: [PATCH] dpkg-deb: Use fd instead of stream based buffered I/O
-
-Behaviour of fflush() on input streams is undefined per POSIX, avoid
-mixing stream and file descriptor based I/O, and only use the latter
-instead.
-
-Upstream-Status: Backport of revision 2d420ee1d05033d237462a0075facfe406b08043 (in 1.16.x)
