Package: apticron Version: 1.1.51 Severity: normal Hi,
Recently /etc/cron.d/apticron was changed to execute apticron hourly. This cause several problems. One is that it will run 'apticron' even if the computer/laptop is on battery. Cron/anacron doesn't do that. Another problem is receiving messages like this: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? I'm using 'unattended-upgrades' and it might happen that apticron is executed after it (as configured in cron.d file at a fixed minute every day). I recommend to move back to the old one per day config. I have configured all my systems to run weekly (file from cron.daily removed), but this is another matter.
