Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.6.9 Severity: normal I'm also seeing ‘apt-cacher’ processes occupy the entire CPU on which they run. When I attach ‘strace’ to such a process, I see this output repeated endlessly as fast as the console can write:

poll([{fd=9, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 1, 0) = 0 (Timeout)

Issuing a ‘kill -TERM’ to such a process has no effect. I can only
terminate the process with ‘kill -KILL’.
