This happened again today, and it seems it's not related to apt-cache itself (sorry). It runs slowly and consumes heaps of CPU, but so does everything else. This time I even saw vim take over 60% cpu while starting, as well as multiple postgres processes etc., so it seems related to the system itself - just wish I knew how to find out what.
If there's anything I can do to give more info, pls let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979696 Title: apt-get check apparently consuming CPU leaving instance unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/979696/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
