I have the following in /etc/apt/apt.conf:
Dpkg::Pre-Invoke {"/bin/mount -o remount,rw /usr";};
Dpkg::Post-Invoke {"/bin/mount -o remount,ro /usr";};
However, in many cases, running aptitude results in the following error:
mount: /usr is busy
E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke '/bin/mount -o remount,ro
/usr'
E: Sub-process returned an error code
I can't figure out why aptitude is leaving the partition in a state
where it can't be remounted ro, even after a significant amount of time
has passed or /bin/sync has been called.
Running "fuser -vm /usr" reveals that /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin is
being left open for writing (why???), but even after closing firefox and
seeing /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin disappear from the fuser output,
the problem remains the same.
How do I work around this issue, or at the very least find out why the
filesystem is being held open?
