This randomly breaks ubuntu-make, for example. [Test case] The following Python code fails, but should succeed, as it locks first, opens a cache and closes it, and then unlocks. import apt_pkg, os, gc apt_pkg.init() apt_pkg.pkgsystem_lock() os.system("ls -l /proc/%d/fd" % os.getpid()) apt_pkg.Cache() gc.collect() os.system("ls -l /proc/%d/fd" % os.getpid()) apt_pkg.pkgsystem_unlock() [Regression potential] This fixes a regression introduced in 2001 by commit b2e465d6d32d2dc884f58b94acb7e35f671a87fe Author: Arch Librarian <a...@canonical.com> Date: Mon Sep 20 16:56:32 2004 +0000 Join with aliencode Author: jgg Date: 2001-02-20 07:03:16 GMT Join with aliencode The fix is to only UnLock from the cache file if the cache file locked before. It's unclear how far code relies on that regression. That said, any potential regression should be easily noticable, as it would be a case of not unlocking where we were unlocking before.
