Package: sudo Version: 1.6.9p11-1+b1 Severity: normal Hello,
When i run in a root shell "aptitude safe-upgrade", it works fine, no freeze, aptitude outputs normally and immediately. But if i do from my current user "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade", the whole system freezes for 5s, then it unlocks and everything gets back to normal. vmstat 1 shows: procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 2 0 3116 59532 195516 505240 0 0 59 102 151 342 11 3 84 3 0 0 3116 59532 195516 505240 0 0 0 92 165 720 8 1 90 1 0 0 3116 59284 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 108 744 23 5 72 0 0 0 3116 59408 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 120 438 3 1 96 0 16 0 3116 58160 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 120 187 83 3 14 0 17 0 3116 58036 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 86 98 99 1 0 0 20 0 3116 56176 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 86 117 98 2 0 0 21 0 3116 56176 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 91 85 100 0 0 0 21 0 3116 53936 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 86 94 90 10 0 0 21 0 3116 49720 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 86 84 93 7 0 0 1 0 3116 49348 195516 505240 0 0 0 100 157 491 98 2 0 0 1 0 3116 49348 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 113 543 97 3 0 0 0 0 3116 59284 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 216 1038 21 3 76 0 0 0 3116 59408 195516 505240 0 0 0 0 145 1139 26 7 67 0 The number of waiting processes is quite unusual :/ "sudo date" or "sudo sleep 5" don't freeze the system. I don't know if this is sudo related or kernel bug, but i've only observed it with sudo.
