Title:
pkgcache.bin.<random> files fill up drive
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Hello
This seems to be similar to bug 1050779.
This occurred on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. apt-get version 0.8.16 compiled
8 Oct 2014.
I have a headless remote webcam server connected via the mobile
telephone network. A new file pkgcache.bin.xxxyyy (where xxxyyy are
random letters/numbers) is generated each day with the same time stamp
(0625 am) and gets added to the /var/cache/apt/ dir. This continues
until the entire root partition is full and the server locks up.
I understand that this should only happen if apt-get update is run but
I don't do that. No one has access to run that command. I do not
install any updates on the server once deployed. At present, the
server has no connection to the internet, so these files are generated
by the software on the server.
I receive a daily report emailed from the server. apt-get is not
listed as a running process when the report is run at 0730.
What is worse is that this problem seems to have started itself. This
server has been running since 2014 without issue. It has started to
fill up the cache directory in the last 6 months for no obvious
reasons. This has caused the server to lock up twice.
I am clearing the files with a daily a crontab job to run apt-get
clean.
I checked the "apt" logs. There are no new entries from when initial
installation was done.
I have asked for help here :
