[Bug 1300987] Re: /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb consumes over 100% RAM on 0.3.23
This bug was fixed in the package auto-apt - 0.3.23ubuntu0.14.04.1 --- auto-apt (0.3.23ubuntu0.14.04.1) trusty; urgency=medium * No change rebuild from Debian auto-apt 0.3.24, which fixes only these bugs: - Patches supplied by Bruno Nova, with thanks. - Plug a memory leak caused by not freeing lines read from stdin.

[Bug 1300987] Re: /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb consumes over 100% RAM on 0.3.23
I've installed the updated auto-apt package, version 0.3.23ubuntu0.14.04.1 from
trusty-proposed, in a Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine (I'm still using 13.10).
This version seems to work correctly. The auto-apt commands mentioned in the
description work fine and without filling the RAM.
I've also tested using auto-apt to help me install 'nano' from source
('auto-apt run ./configure').
It installed all required dependencies. After that, 'make' compiled the program
without problems.

Ubuntu Sponsors, could you backport version 0.3.24 of auto-apt to trusty-proposed? That version of the package fixes both this bug and LP: #1300991. auto-apt is not functional in the current version 0.3.23. Important note: 0.3.24 was uploaded to Debian and will, eventually, be synced into Utopic.

[Bug 1300987] Re: /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb consumes over 100% RAM on 0.3.23
I confirm this bug. Both update and updatedb commands have frozen my computer (due to full RAM), and the second command was actually killed by the out-of-memory killer (/usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb is indeed the guilty program). The workaround mentioned by the bug reporter also works for me. Actually, after applying this workaround and the workaround mentioned in Bug #1300991, auto-apt works correctly. For those who want to apply the workaround, one way to get the 0.3.22 version of the auto-apt-pkgdcb file is to download the 32 or 64 bit DEB of auto-apt of Raring from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/auto-apt Then open the DEB in the archive manager, extract the auto-apt-pkgdcb file from its usr/lib/auto-apt directory and replace the system /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb file with this one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300987 Title: /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb consumes over 100% RAM on 0.3.23 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/auto-apt/+bug/1300987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've looked at the changes done to file auto-apt-pkgcdb.c in this commit: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/auto-apt/trusty/revision/6#auto-apt-pkgcdb.c There is clearly a memory leak in the while loop that starts in line 220. The get_line() function allocates and returns a pointer to a character array (a new allocation for each invocation). Inside the loop, in line 225, that function is called (buf = get_line(stdin);), and the pointer stored is in buf. However, the related free(buf) function is only called outside of the loop. So, only the last allocation is freed. The free(buf) call must be moved to inside the while loop! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300987 Title: /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb consumes over 100% RAM on 0.3.23 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/auto-apt/+bug/1300987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
