Package: snmpd Version: 5.2.3-1 Severity: normal I have noticed this on several machines, that upgrading snmpd just "sits there"
I have taken a ps -ef --forest when it happens, and that shows: root 4213 3193 0 12:24 pts/0 00:00:00 | \_ apt-get install snmpd root 4448 4213 0 12:25 pts/0 00:00:00 | \_ /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 11 --configure perl perl-modules libperl5.8 libperl-dev libsnmp-base libsnmp9 libsnmp-perl snmpd root 4458 4448 0 12:26 pts/0 00:00:00 | \_ /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/snmpd.postinst configure 5.2.2-3 root 4469 4458 0 12:26 pts/0 00:00:00 | \_ [snmpd.postinst] <defunct> And this process tree never finishes. Hitting CTRL-C terminates the snmpd.postinst and the apt-get install finishes with an error for snmpd. A subsequent apt-get install -f apparently fixes that error and the system seems to be in a "good" state afterwards. But apt-get install hangs and requires manual intervention. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.vmware Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages snmpd depends on: ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.2 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsensors3 1:2.10.0-7 library to read temperature/voltag ii libsnmp9 5.2.3-1 NET SNMP (Simple Network Managemen ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-9 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra snmpd recommends no packages. -- debconf information: snmpd/upgradefrom36: * snmpd/upgradefrom521: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
