Subject: aptitude: keeps running forever on nonassisted script
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.1.5-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
at work we have quite a few debian stable servers updated daily with
this script via cron jobs:
#!/bin/bash
aptitude update >& /dev/null
TMP_FILE="/tmp/remote-update.txt"
echo "From: r...@server" > $TMP_FILE
echo "To: remotead...@server" >> $TMP_FILE
echo "Subject: $(date +%e/%m/%y) $(eval hostname) status" >> $TMP_FILE
echo >> $TMP_FILE
yes n | LC_ALL=C aptitude -s safe-upgrade | grep -A20 "upgraded.*" |
grep -v "continue" >> $TMP_FILE
echo >> $TMP_FILE
sendmail remotead...@server < $TMP_FILE
rm -f $TMP_FILE
yes Y | aptitude -d safe-upgrade >& /dev/null
Its not a pretty solution but it has worked for years up until now.
We're testing some servers with the next stable (that is squeeze) and
had pointed their sources.list to squeeze
Since then the servers showed a strange behaviour during updates with
the prior script.
The line:
yes Y | aptitude -d safe-upgrade >& /dev/null
sometimes keeps running forever, so we have to kill the process, and
other times ends as expected.
The packages are being downloaded right so we dont know whats exactly doing.
Thanks.
