Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?
I run fuser /var/lib/dpkg and the pid that shows up is unattended- upgrades which is chewing cpu. If I run ps -ef | grep dpkg nothing is running. I don't know what unattended-upgrades is doing other than blocking me from running apt full-upgrade, but it's not actually running updates. If I kill it, it just restarts. I have to kill it and immediately start apt full-upgrade or wait an extended period of time for unattended-upgrades to let go. I can't replicate the problem at this time because I've now manually run all the updates. I'm not really interested in whatever slowness is in unattended-upgrades, I just want it to abort when I run apt if it isn't actually actively installing something. unattended-upgrades should be communicating and coordinating with apt, not blocking it unconditionally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1883338 Title: unattended-upgrades blocks apt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1883338/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
