-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 "exim4 -bd" should close all inherited file handles. Among the ill effects of this bug is that it makes unattended-upgrades fail until killed: root 7384 0.0 0.5 12332 628 ? Ss Mar30 0:00 /usr/sbin/anacron -s root 7385 0.0 0.3 4004 476 ?

SNs Mar30 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m The reason is that "run-parts --report" redirects stdout and stderr to pipes, and is waiting for the process to close them. This won't happen here, because apt started exim4 which keeps them open (among quite a few others which also should have been closed by exim4): frtest1:~# lsof -p13246 [..] exim4 13246 Debian-exim 0u CHR 1,3 0t0 872 /dev/null exim4 13246 Debian-exim 1u CHR 1,3 0t0 872 /dev/null exim4 13246 Debian-exim 2u CHR 1,3 0t0 872 /dev/null exim4 13246 Debian-exim 3w FIFO 0,8 0t0 17489 pipe exim4 13246 Debian-exim 4u IPv4 17686 0t0 TCP localhost:smtp (LISTEN) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 41r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 43r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 45r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 47r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 49r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 51r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 53r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 55r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 57r REG 8,1 452666 74725 /var/lib/dpkg/status (deleted) exim4 13246 Debian-exim 58u CHR 1,3 0t0 872 /dev/null exim4 13246 Debian-exim 59u REG 8,1 4723 113633 /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg_2011-03-30_08:01:04.835276.log exim4 13246 Debian-exim 60w FIFO 0,8 0t0 12080 pipe exim4 13246 Debian-exim 61w FIFO 0,8 0t0 12081 pipe exim4 13246 Debian-exim 63w REG 8,1 10952 73213 /var/log/apt/history.log Bjørn - -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.72 #1 built 31-Jan-2011 18:42:28 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge, 1995 - 2007 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April 9, 2010) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 GnuTLS move_frozen_messages DKIM Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch nis nis0 passwd Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 GnuTLS compile-time version: 2.8.6 GnuTLS runtime version: 2.8.6 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' dc_eximconfig_configtype='satellite' dc_other_hostnames='nemi.mork.no' dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1' dc_readhost='mork.no' dc_relay_domains='' dc_minimaldns='false' dc_relay_nets='' dc_smarthost='"<+ mail.mork.no:587 + smtp.online.no:587 + [::1]:2525"' CFILEMODE='644' dc_use_split_config='true' dc_hide_mailname='true' dc_mailname_in_oh='true' dc_localdelivery='mail_spool' mailname:nemi.mork.no - -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'squeeze-updates'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages exim4-daemon-light depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4-base 4.72-6 support files for all Exim MTA (v4 ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.8 4.8.30-2 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii libgnutls26 2.8.6-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi exim4-daemon-light recommends no packages. exim4-daemon-light suggests no packages. - -- debconf information: exim4-daemon-light/drec: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk2V/K4ACgkQ10rqkowbIsk1LwCcC302au+PH0keuL0vIgFHnPB+ OwsAn09d3H6aFsPyoBcYf0vGrTduYG6Z =1RG7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
