Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.7.9.1 Severity: normal Today I found many "apt-cacher-cleanup.pl" processes run by cron on my system so I had to knock them down with "sudo killall apt-cacher-cleanup.pl".
To my surprise it happened despite "AUTOSTART=0" in "/etc/default/apt-cacher".
Let alone reason why this process did not terminate within reasonable time I'd
like to highlight the following problems:
* cleaner may start multiple times if already running one(s) did not finish.
* cleaner runs disregarding of "AUTOSTART=0" in "/etc/default/apt-cacher".
* lack of POD documentation
(i.e. "perldoc /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-cleanup.pl" report
"No documentation found").
I did not investigate why cleanup did not finish but I suspect that it somehow
might be due to active "apt-cacher-ng"...
When I run "sudo /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-cleanup.pl -v" it finished
without reporting any errors...
