Dear all Something dpkg-related hogs my system's resources. It is disturbing since it starts by itself, takes many minutes (+/- 1h) and ends by itself. I could also not identify one obvious process responsible for it. WHen this happens, CPU indicator shows about 50% usage of the two cores, while I can spot many `sh' processes (with one of them taking a good chunk of CPU), an `md5sum' process starting and ending sporadically and a `dpkg-query' one exhibiting similar behaviour.
Could someone suggest how to track down what triggers this and turn it off?
