Besides the patch below, it is very important that you first make sure
that you really intend to access the cache: check all the variables
first.
Otherwise if the cron job fires when apt is in use, it will send an
error message to root. Which happens about once a month for me.
*** /etc/cron.daily/apt 2007-10-27 04:27:00.000000000 +0800
--- /tmp/apt 2008-01-09 09:24:06.875768181 +0800

# check if we can lock the cache and if the cache is clean
if ! apt-get check -q -q 2>/dev/null; then
+ echo Cannot lock the cache, exiting.
exit 1
