I got this too, and after reading the comments, I think it's both (ana)cron and apt doing something wrong.
This may also be a security bug, since apt will keep a lock and automatic updates (which is configured on my system) may not be running due to a stuck apt process. The apt process is really dead, but the run- parts daily process is stuck. killing that took care of the stuck apt child process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606491 Title: start: Job is already running: anacron To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anacron/+bug/606491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
