Dear maintainer, Recently unattended-upgrades started to consume a LOT more CPU time than before.
Similarly to the original report, I looked at what strace gets in terms of statistics, here it is: strace: Process 5193 detached % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 100,00 4,762247 2 2288315 1703451 stat 0,00 0,000051 0 100 read 0,00 0,000015 0 20 openat 0,00 0,000008 0 20 close 0,00 0,000005 0 20 fstat 0,00 0,000005 0 20 fcntl ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 100.00 4,762331 2288495 1703451 total Looks odd, no? It is so bothering that for now I've disabled unattended-upgrades on all 3 laptops. Manual update + upgrade requires a fraction of the resources currently required by unattended-upgrades. I hope this issue gets sorted out. Please let me know if there's something else I can do to provide useful information.
