Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
The cron job installed by apt (/etc/cron.
Further, it appears that on my system this apt-get process sometimes hangs, leaving the directory locked until I kill apt-get manually (and sometimes, remove the lock manually as well)
To post a comment you must log in.
Thanks for your bugreport.
If you have a case were it hangs, could you please run strace on it like this:
$ sudo strace -p `pidof apt-get`
and attach the output to this bugreport?
Thanks,
Michael
