Package: apt Version: 0.6.43.3 Severity: grave I was trying to update two of our servers to the most recent 'unstable' versions yet have succeeded for only one, the other one hangs forever after issuing apt-get upgrade on the commandline:
---------CUT--------- bash$ apt-get upgrade [...] tasksel tcl8.4 tcpd tcpdump tex-common texinfo textutils tk8.4 ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-dejavu ucf unrar unzip util-linux vacation vim vim-common vim-runtime whois wwwconfig-common x-dev x11-common xbase-clients xfree86-common xfsdump xfsprogs xlibmesa-gl xlibs xlibs-data xlibs-static-dev xpdf-common xpdf-utils xutils yaird zlib1g zlib1g-dev zoo zsh 382 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 36 not upgraded. ---------CUT--------- All our servers share the same NFS based archive for package updates, if that matters. For that reason I have also looked for any (nfs) lock files, but did not find anything suspicious. An strace on the hanging process shows this: ---------CUT--------- bash$ strace -p4274 Process 4274 attached - interrupt to quit close(11 ---------CUT--------- Another thing is that I cannot even kill -9 the process, only a reboot (obviously :-) makes it go away. However, I am able to install new packages individually using dpkg -i, yet apt-get install does not work either. dpkg -i though is working, I updated apt itself from 0.6.43.1 to 0.6.43.3 this way, but apt-get install OTOH does not work either. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib #deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib #deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free #deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free #deb ftp://debian.inode.at/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib #deb-src ftp://debian.inode.at/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb http://einsteinmg.dyndns.org/debian unstable/ deb-src http://einsteinmg.dyndns.org/debian unstable/ -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-6 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages apt recommends: pn debian-archive-keyring <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
