Title:
  dpkg coredumps if FIGETBSZ ioctl return -ENOTTY

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:

  root at localhost:~# strace dpkg -S libc.so.6

  ...

  open("/var/lib/dpkg/info/libtext-wrapi18n-perl.list", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
  ioctl(3, FIGETBSZ, 0xbfe0463c)          = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
  open("/proc/meminfo", O_RDONLY)         = 4
  fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
  mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb77fb000
  read(4, "MemTotal:         262144 kB\nMemF"..., 1024) = 532
  close(4)                                = 0
  munmap(0xb77fb000, 4096)                = 0
  --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
  +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
  Segmentation fault

  This may happens on some virtual filesystems because

  ---
  if (!blocksize && ioctl(fd, FIGETBSZ, &blocksize) < 0)
    break;
  ---

  code in src/filesdb.c leave only first pkg->clientdata defined. Seems
  like continue; should be there.

  Please fix.
