i'm seeing this as well (amd64/sid fwiw)... Get:5 http://ftp.se.debian.org sid/main Packages [5777kB] 99% [5 Packages gzip 0]
i attached to it with strace, which loops around: select(8, [5 6 7], [], NULL, {0, 500000}) = 0 (Timeout) stat("/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ftp.se.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages.decomp", 0x7fff5336fec0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [WINCH], [], 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 write(1, "\r99% [5 Packages gzip 0]", 24) = 24 select(8, [5 6 7], [], NULL, {0, 500000}) = 0 (Timeout) stat("/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ftp.se.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages.decomp", 0x7fff5336fec0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [WINCH], [], 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 write(1, "\r99% [5 Packages gzip 0]", 24) = 24 race condition maybe? i don't seem to have any defunct/unreaped child processes. here's some graphical output from pstree: apt-get-+-gpgv -gzip -http the http is stuck in a single select call, as are gzip/gpgv if i kill the http method, i get a little more output: Get:5 http://ftp.se.debian.org sid/main Packages [5777kB] 99% [5 Packages gzip 0] W: There are no public key available for the following key IDs: A70DAF536070D3A1 E: Method http has died unexpectedly! but obviously, that means the update died. sean
