Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 12.04.1, with apt-0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.6
When I run a script that does ... sudo apt-get -y install cmake in the background, apt-get hangs. ps -augx | grep apt shows root 20603 0.9 0.4 38000 29044 pts/1 T 10:14 0:01 apt-get -y install cmake Attaching with gdb and doing 'bt' says: #0 0xb775b1b2 in _dl_sysinfo_int80 () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 #1 0xb74473c3 in __read_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82 #2 0xb76ef403 in pkgDPkgPM::DoStdin(int) () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.4.12 #3 0xb76f809e in pkgDPkgPM::Go(int) () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.4.12 #4 0xb767e94a in pkgPackageManager::DoInstallPostFork(int) () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.4.12 #5 0xb767e9b0 in pkgPackageManager::DoInstall(int) () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.4.12 Googling for DoStdin found that this has an upstream bug report already: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555632 Workaround is to redirect stdin. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088023 Title: aptitude does not run in background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1088023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
