Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.42

apticron in Squeeze runs automatically by:

* /etc/cron.daily/apticron in 6:25
* /etc/cron.d/apticron in random time generated by postinst script

We had one installation with random generated time 6:25. Because of this there was a collision of two apticron processes:

/etc/cron.daily/apticron:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

I think /etc/cron.daily/apticron is not necessary because of duplicity. Furthermore there are peaks on Debian servers and client connection in one moment.

At least there should be a condition to not generate 6:25.
