I had the same problem. To solve it, I narrowed the search to the function
random_sleep...... It sleeps....... 30 min????
# sleep for a random intervall of time (default 30min)
# (some code taken from cron-apt, thanks)
random_sleep()
{
RandomSleep=1800
eval $(apt-config shell RandomSleep APT::Periodic::RandomSleep)
if [ $RandomSleep -eq 0 ]; then
return
fi
if [ -z "$RANDOM" ] ; then
# A fix for shells that do not have this bash feature.
RANDOM=$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | cksum | cut -c"1-5")
fi
TIME=$(($RANDOM % $RandomSleep))
sleep $TIME
}
Very odd, I just commented it at apt, line 222, and It's working again.
