Title:
APT daily cronjobs hangs, prevents other cronjobs to be executed
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Hi,
I've created a cronjob in /etc/cron.daily (a very simple mysqldump)
and have been looking for weeks why it wouldnt execute... Following
the advice of a friend I run:
sudo su -
run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
Which seemed to hang completely. I straced the process, and it seemed it was
hanging on the APT cron job;
access("/etc/cron.daily/apt", X_OK) = 0
pipe([3, 4]) = 0
pipe([5, 6]) = 0
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0xb7db86f8) = 13861
close(4) = 0
close(6) = 0
select(6, [3 5], NULL, NULL, NULL
I removed the APT cronjob and now the run-parts works fine... would
be worth testing but I wonder if all the cronjobs following
/etc/cron.daily/apt are executed properly...
Maybe this bug is linked to

I am using Jeos 8.04 built with uvb - tell me if I can provide any additional
information, thanks!
