Each time I run a long apt command, Munin complains about locks:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource
temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is
another process using it?
Can be several emails per day.
Here is my attempt to fix it:
/etc/cron.d/munin-node
if [ -x /etc/munin/plugins/apt_all ]
becomes
if [ ! -e /var/lib/dpkg/lock ]; then if [ -x /etc/munin/plugins/apt_all];
untested ...
There is no perfect way to avoid these messages, but adding this simple
test should avoid 99.9% useless messages.
