This will be of absolutely no value to you, but I'm seeing similar hangs with apt on the Hurd. I can run apt (or dselect) successfully once, but the second time, every time, it hangs and I have to power cycle the computer. It usually happens on the "Reading database..." phase. As soon as I can figure out enough of what I'm doing to adequately report it as a bug, I will, but that's likely to be a while, as the Hurd only gets a small amount of my attention (rats! I rather enjoy tinkering -- just don't have the time).I have a system which seems very healthy, and it's been unproblematic for the past year. Uptime is around 450 days!
I don't seem to be able to apt-get update anymore. This is a new problem, I have been keeping the system up to date up until now.
The symptoms are that apt-get hangs on
Building Dependency Tree... 50%
indefinitely. what's kind of curious is that if I attach strace, it hangs at 67%.
strace output is at
ftp://ftp.madduck.net/scratch/strace.apt-get.hangs.gz [62 Kb]
aptitude, btw, hangs during "Loading cache".
I'd appreciate any tips and hints...
