I wonder if something stray is holding locks or doing things, and thus we are waiting on locks to expire.
Do we like stop unatanded upgrades / apt-daily timer units when we start the ugprade? Cause they may have "cought" the lock between us finish update, and starting to check for obsolete pkgs. I have managed to catch lock "half-way in between doing things" before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874272 Title: Stage "searching for obsolete software" takes a very long time (30 minutes) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1874272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
