As you can see it is 25th Oct now and the apt that is in a zombie state is
from the 10th, I've seen this happen on i386 and amd64 arches at least in
stable, I can't confirm if this has happened on testing/sid as well, but I
think I has happened to me on those as well before.
It seems weird I have not found this bug as it is hitting me from some time
now on machines at work and at home, I tried to look at /proc a bit to find
info on the process but didn't know what to look for and didn't find
anything relevant.
I hope to hear back from you soon and leave the process in that state in
case you want to have a look at some of the data of the running process or
similar.
Please tell me how to proceed from here as I don't know what info to add I
can tell you that this doesn't always happen, it happens from time to time.
I'm setting some of the machines with APT::Periodic::Verbose 3; to gather
some info on other machines that are also seing this.
Any other ideas on what to do?
Thanks in advance.
