I can confirm the problem and restarting cron appears to be a solution.

2011-05-31 Thread Ralf Hildebrandt
I found a machine without unattended-upgrades, performed the PAM
upgrade manually and alas, cron et.al. were not being restarted. So
maybe it's an error in the packages themselves!!!

2011-05-31 Thread Bart Verwilst
If it's indeed a problem in the package, maybe another upgrade would be
advisable, even if it's just to trigger a restart of the crons.. We have
1600 servers that need to have cron restarted now, if we wouldn't be
aware of this issue, this could really mess up vital parts of our
organisation that depend on timed executions. A new release that
restarts cron could make the amount of bad surpises over the next couple
of days a lot less for a lot of unaware system admins.

Well, not via unattended-upgrades, since that just broke :)

 We have 1600 servers that need to have cron restarted now,

If feel your pain!!!

It did here.

 A new release that restarts cron could make the amount of bad surpises
 over the next couple of days a lot less for a lot of unaware system
 admins.

For all those people who didn't notice their cron not running,
unattended-upgrades won't work!

It's truly FUBARed

2011-05-31 Thread Joey Imbasciano
We are experiencing the same issue while running these 8.04 AMIs on AWS
(ami-6836dc01, ami-0c36dc65). After upgrading PAM, the cron service has
stopped responding on all of our servers. Restarting the service seems
to fix the issue.

(I move dthe bug to pam since the error also occurs when an
interactive update occurs)

** Package changed: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu) = pam (Ubuntu)
