tags 545491 +moreinfo thanks Hi Kai Moritz,
I think the issue you reported is not a bug in apticron. Please help me to confirm this: - for some reason the apt-get command called by apticron freezes in your system. It would happen anyway if you use another way to call it. I suggest you to find the reason which makes 'apt-get -qq update' freeze in your system (maybe a network issue?). - the part of manpage you mentioned in summary says it's not a good idea using '-qq' to perform a real action in apt-get because by using this, apt-get wont ask you to confirm that action. However, it's exactly what we need in apticron: updating the sources lists without asking you to confirm :) I would like to know how often it's happening in your system. As I said, I'm pretty sure it's not a bug in apticron, but I can try to help you there anyway if you give me more info. Also, if you agree with me please tell me so I close this report.
