Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.4.5
Severity: minor

Hi,

I am running cron-apt on an hourly basis. This might lead to the
following situation:

Prerequisite: One of the apt servers is down causing apt-get update to
take a _loooong_ time.
nn:00    cron-apt is started by cron, sleep time 3540 seconds
nn:59    apt-get update starts, stalls due to the apt server being down
nn+1:00  cron-apt is started by cron, sleep time 120 seconds
nn+1:02  apt-get update starts, reports "can't obtain apt lock" due to
         the still running apt from the last round

This happens surprisingly often and increases the number of e-mails
generated since the "can't obtain apt lock" error message completely
messes up diff handling.

cron-apt should be changed to do the following

sleep
take out a lock
check if lock successful
if lock successful, continue
if lock unsuccessful, terminate with a log message, but not messing up
the diffs

Greetings
Marc
