I tried to track it down; I could reproduce it with non-stripped apt-binaries from a re-compiled apt source package. pstree showed the following processes while apt-get was hanging: apt-get(5027)???bzip2(5049) ??gpgv(5032) ??gzip(5038) ??http(5029) ??http(5030) apt-get was blocked in a select() called from apt-get.cc:1354 1353 // Run it 1354 if (Fetcher.Run() == pkgAcquire::Failed) // <<== 1355 return false; bzip/gzip/gpgv were hanging in a select() which was called from WaitFd(), and http did not show a useful stack trace. Then, strangely, while still debugging, apt-get update suddenly worked again (even without updating the apt key), so I was not able to further examine it ... Maybe the above observations help when it happens again :) Andreas - -- Andreas Fester mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.littletux.net ICQ: 326674288 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFaz9jZ3bQVzeW+rsRAjQVAKCZYlKQftP1lwjz7OvbUUYXJYaZ6wCgv5mp S4msVMYT39GL2ZaXET4fUF0= =Glr1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
