Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt
apt-get appears to wedge, clocking 100% cpu, when upgrading with --fix- missing. I've verified that this only happens with --fix-missing, and even happens when there are no other packages to upgrade (ie. when fix- missing wouldn't actually do anything). Here's the output of apt-get upgrade --fix-missing as I run it under strace: # strace -o /tmp/wedged-apt-get apt-get upgrade -u --fix-missing Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be upgraded: postfix python python-minimal 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
