No. I used cfengine 2.1.10 and there was no statement in cfservd.c:
  signal(SIGCHLD,SIG_IGN);

So the packages upgrade via cfrun/cfservd was going good. I have read
the debian mail archives and there was some discussion about that 
somebody is messing with SIGCHLD handler. So i looked through the 
sources and found the new statement for SIGCHLD. So somebody has added 
this with an purpose. When i change the SIGCHLD statement everything 
runs fine. So it solved my problem and definitly also for other debian
maintainers. I can now upgrade the cluster via apt-get update; apt-get 
upgrade without any errors.
