** Description changed:

  Each morning I have trouble ssh'ing into a precise instance which I have
  running (on canonistack). After several minutes I am able to get to a
  shell and run `top` which shows apt-get consuming the CPU (load went
  over 18).
  
  Rebooting the instance certainly helped yesterday, but since it happened
  again, I've tried to collect the info:
  
  grepping for the actual process processes shows me (`ps fax | grep apt-
  get`)
  
  24417 ?        D     18:56                  \_ apt-get check -f -qq
  
  I had to kill 24417 before `ubuntu-bug apt` would progress.
  
  Let me know if there are other logs to attach.
  
+ NOTE: I can't be sure this is in fact related to apt-get. It seems after
+ killing apt-get and reporting this bug, the system is still very slow
+ (although load is fine). I'll try to run the apt cron script manually
+ and see if it puts the machine into the same state after a reboot.
