Hi all, Some comments. I have apt Version 0.7.9ubuntu15 I was doing sudo aptitude update While downloading the index one of the index files was corrupt or something. It did the whole cycle of the update. Then I tried to re-update the index & the following things came up :- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo aptitude update E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root?

Try this command, it should solve the problem: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo dpkg --configure -a Yes, the patch is already applied in the distribution. This has nothing to do with a failed attempt to install SuSE, it has to do with a failed attempt to install a package in Adept and Adept failing to handle the error properly.

[Bug 48627] Re: Poor resolution of "database locked" problem
Confirmed hardy beta (64bit). This bug was the only way I figured out how to fix it. I was having multiple problems with Adept refusing to install/resintall certain package before this happened. Then after a few attempts it refused to open. Using `dpkg --configure -a` allowed Adept to restart & fixed the package commit problems earlier. Maybe there are two bugs: One that Adept doesn't notice the db is hosed when it fails to commit & one that doesn't notice the db is hosed when it can't start. -- Poor resolution of "database locked" problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm changing the status of this bug to In Progress, since a fix has been, in fact, released, but not working perfectly. Launching Adept will trigger a popup which asks how the user wants to resolve the locked database problem. If the user chooses Yes, the dpkg command will be run, but it will also crash Adept. In my case, Adept was usable after that crash.

[Bug 48627] Re: Poor resolution of "database locked" problem
Here's a patch for this issue. After investigating the work necessary for this fix, I've discovered that it would be just as simple to call dpkg directly rather than using another script to do this. I know this seems like duplication of work, and I greatly apologize for this, but in the interest of reducing dependencies and keeping things simple, I've got this working in C++. No matter which way we went with this, it requires some tinkering in how adept initializes its connection with the dpkg database. Here's the patch, and it could probably use an extra pair of eyes. ** Attachment added: "locked_fix patch." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8312759/locked_fix.patch -- Poor resolution of "database locked" problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, by experience I know I see in the details window that it continue while
showing the message.
So I firmly inclined to believe it is not so synchronous.
I have found in source package libapt-front:
void Manager::commit()
{
if (!m_pm)
throw exception::InternalError( "Tried to commit without PM" );
// mornfall: is it me or this looks like a race?
while (1) {
_system->UnLock(); // unlock for dpkg to take over
pkgPackageManager::OrderResult Res = m_pm->DoInstall(-1);
if (Res == pkgPackageManager::Completed) {
_system->Lock(); // regain lock
delete m_pm;
m_pm = 0;
cache::Global::get( m_cache ).reopen(); // reopen cache
return;
} else if (Res == pkgPackageManager::Failed) {
throw exception::Error( "Error installing packages" );
}
exception::checkGlobal( "Error installing packages" );
getArchives();
}
}
I suppose PM is Package Manager.
I guess now I am searching DoInstall method to try to prove it is asynchronous.
My guess is still that DoInstall launch dpkg to install all the downloaded
packages, and may return with pkgPackageManager::Failed
and continue installing packages in the background.

I also believe that m.commit() is a synchronous call... so I believe that it
does wait for the m.commit() to finish. I could be wrong though.

I don't believe this is actually the problem. Remember, apt is still managing
the database on this end, so if there is something that goes wrong with the
package (and oh how many things can go wrong with a package) there's not much
adept can do to handle this error other than to actually tell the user about
it and quit. I don't think that locks the database though. Have you
actually had a package that locks the database in this manner?

[Bug 48627] Re: Poor resolution of "database locked" problem
I believe what is proposed is avoiding to fix the real problem.
I believe one of the real problem is at:
adept-2.1.2ubuntu27/adept/updater/app.cpp where we have:
aptFront::Manager m;
m.setProgressCallback( m_progress->callback() );
m.setUpdateInterval( 10 );
try {
m_stack->raiseWidget( m_progress );
m.download();
m_stack->raiseWidget( m_commitProgress );
m.commit();
} catch ( exception::OperationCancelled ) {
} catch ( ... ) {
KMessageBox::sorry(
this, i18n( "There was an error commiting changes. "
"Possibly there was a problem downloading some "
"packages or the commit would break packages. "
),
i18n( "Could not commit changes" ) );
}
My feeling is that m.commit() make a new instance of dpkg installed all the
packages downloaded in m.download().
But when any error happen in that, KMessageBox::sorry is shown, but I did
observed that while it is shown, I can
see the packages continue to be installed in details window.
So if one would wait for the packages for being all installed before clicking
Ok, there would no problem.
But if you click ok button before all packages finished installing, adept quit.
While quitting, it make the spawn
dpkg process to quit too, while it is still installing stuff. This make it kept
a lock on package database.
My suggestion would be to add some code to wait for the m.commit() to finish
just after the sorry MessageBox, rather
than quit right away.
But I am still searching the code of aptFront::Manager to better understand
what is still just an hypothesis.
And I am afraid to not know enough to code to 'wait for the m.commit() to
finish'.

Good news: I have created a small Python tool called "Adept Resolver"that detects and fixes this problem. It has a simple KDE GUI as well. However, in order to make Adept compatible with this tool, we need to make Adept realize that "dpkg --configure -a" is required.
