Bug Description
I noticed last night that package install fails. Then I noticed processes running from an automatic upgrade that ran on September first. Whenever I run "dpkg --configure -a", it gets stuck on blkid hanging. When I run the same command manually through strace, it seems to get hung on opening the floppy drive, which does not exist:
# strace -o blkid.log blkid -l -t UUID=55e42e8c-
...
lstat("/dev/fd0", {st_mode=
access("/dev/fd0", F_OK) = 0
stat("/dev/fd0", {st_mode=
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/dev/
openat(4, "dm/uuid", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(4) = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/fd0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC
This bug was submitted by running ubuntu-bug on one of the hung instances of blkid.
