Bug#839815: python-debian: ArFile keeps a FH open for every package that is accessed

[Stuart Prescott]

Hi Marc,

Can you provide some sort of test case that helps debug this filehandle leak? 
I'm not sure how you're using ArFile (other than presumably in some sort of 
loop). It would help us greatly to see some problematic code.

(Even something as simple as the following to a test case

  print("FDs %d" % len(glob.glob("/proc/self/fd/*")))

would help us spot an fd leak.)

thanks!
Stuart
