When fileutils with stream error checking was borrowed from GNU lib, an omission was also propagated where an errno of EPIPE wouldn't be preserved in close_stream() making a test for EPIPE in close_stdout() meaningless. This patch corrects such oversight so that an errno of EPIPE no longer produces 'write error' at program end. ( gnulib provides for optionally ignoring EPIPE, but ) ( if a program chooses to ignore it, then their code ) ( appears to suffer from this close_stream oversight ) Reference(s): . original fileutilis addition commit c7cf98b0e03780f78abe5275c6fb282f71a2369f . bugzilla report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=976199

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
