[Bug 134858] Re: update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process
Let me begin by saying that a few weeks ago I upgraded from gutsy to hardy beta, using do-release-upgrade. I had the ppa2 apt version installed and experienced no problems. Yesterday I did a little testing by creating a Vmware Server virtual machine, and installed gutsy from the server .iso image. Installed updates but not the proposed apt. The apt, dpkg, kernel versions are: apt 0.7.6ubuntu14 apt-utils 0.7.6ubuntu14 dpkg1.14.5ubuntu16 linux-image-2.6.22-14-server2.6.22-14.52 linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic 2.6.22-14.52 Using the -server kernel, the 2vcard test ran without hanging until I stopped it after 3.5 hours and 2073 interations. However, using the -generic kernel, the 2vcard test caused the hang after 75 minutes and 612 iterations. Is it possible that the folks who don't see this error are running the -server kernel? Then I installed the apt from gutsy-proposed: apt 0.7.6ubuntu14.1 apt-utils 0.7.6ubuntu14.1 Again using the -generic kernel, the 2vcard ran without hanging for over 14.5 hours and 7484 iterations before I stopped it. Then I ran a do-release-upgrade and upgraded to hardy RC without any problem. -- update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In an Ubuntu 7.10 server install I tested installing and removing y2vcard as indicated in the test case without it hanging at all. I then installed apt from gutsy-proposed and performed a dist-upgrade to Hardy via 'apt-get dist-upgrade' after editing my sources.list file. This upgrade performed successfully.

This has been in gutsy-proposed for about half a year now. Can someone please test this? If it's tricky to recreate the original problem: it is actually more important that this version of apt still works as expected (installing packages, etc.), i. e. test for regressions instead of reproducing this bug.

@Michael: iteration 592 and still going strong :) It looks like your ppa2 version had the magic that cured the problem (kcontrol, at least). However, monitoring the dpkg process status with a `watch -n .3 ps aux | grep dpkg | grep -v grep`, briefly shows a defunct dpkg process at the end of the apt operation. This doesn't remain as it did prior to ppa2, so perhaps it's nothing to worry about. Regardless, thanks for the fix, and I'll report back if the issue crops up with a different set of inputs.

@LGB: it is the same problem, yes. apt 0.7.6ubuntu14 fixes the resource leak, that might or might not fix the hang as well.

[Bug 134858] Re: update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process
Unfortunately I've experienced the hang using apt 0.7.6ubuntu14. When the update with apt 0.7.6ubuntu14 came out, there were also some openoffice.org files that wanted to update. I intentionally installed apt and apt-utils 0.7.6ubuntu14 first. Then did apt-get update to pick up the openoffice.org files, and during that update, the apt-get tool hung twice. the first time was on: Preparing to replace openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu4 (using .../openoffice.org-core_1%3a2.3.0-1ubuntu5_i386.deb) ...

Now I have changed my .bashrc to set only LC_COLLATE=POSIX and LC_TIME=POSIX, and k3b works again.

I'm using gnome-terminal. But please note, that I've noticed this on plain text console as well (without even starting X/gdm). Because of this fact, I don't think that it's terminal emulation related question. Another question: I can't stop apt-get temporary with CTRL-Z (even before the freeze) to continue with command 'fg' later.

I was using xterm when I got the above results. However, just a few minutes ago, I ran another upgrade (apt-get dist- upgrade) on the linux console, without any X running. And I experienced the problem once again. It occured on the final package being installed in this batch (xserver-xorg-video-intel), during the install phase, prior to the conf phase. I had to kill apt-get and run it again, and the upgrade completed. During the upgrade, and just a package or two prior to the last one, I hit a key on the console to see if it was hung up, and it echoed properly. This latest batch included an update to python-apt, but I don't know if that's relevant. gm -- update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 134858] Re: update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process
I've also got this bug, it's ubuntu gutsy on AMD64 (but I've seen this on an i386 box too at my workplace, with the same version numbers), version of apt package is 0.7.6ubuntu12, version of dpkg is 1.14.5ubuntu16. From time to time using apt-get causes to freeze, I can see process dpkg in defunct state with command ps. It seems it's just after unpacking packages, since killing apt-get than running dpkg --configure -a does the trick (eg furthet apt-get dist-upgrade does not find any more task to do). Also (don't it's related or not) I've discovered that I can't stop apt- get with CTRL-Z even before the freeze however I've used this to stop installing packages for a while if I need more disk I/O bandwidth for an urgent task or such (I've got very slow disk ). -- update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also see zombie dpkg processes, causing apt-get to hang on my x86 box, generally when doing an upgrade, and seems to be always after the last of the unpack stage.

Hi! Sorry for cheering too early, I tortured apt tonight, too, and I also had the hangs. Then I remembered that I had a similar problem some time ago with my dmplayer, wehere I got similar zombie children related to the select() call. Back then, I rewrote dmplayer to use pselect() instead of select(), and the problem went away. So I tried the same here with apt. After that, I can resize my windows while installing like hell, and I had no problems. Attached is a patch against the bzr branch of apt.

Hi, Some news on my side too. For a few weeks now this bug has happened to me _at least_ once a day. I often also get the Error in select() message.

Although not a scientific experiment, I have not had the problem for some days though I am still doing two upgrades a day. Yesterday I forgot and did an upgrade with gnome-terminal and got the same error with an Error in select() message. It looks like there is some interaction with gnome-terminal and dpkg which is different from how xterm and dpkg interact. So not scientific but interesting...

Hi, Perhaps a strange gutsy feeling? (Sorry poor joke). I'll start using xterm and see if the problem repeats. Come to think of it, I have noticed that some apparent hangs can be solved by hitting the enter key after which an error about a closed socket appears. If the problem reappears when using xterm then we can discount the idea. Just remember though that this problem has only appeared for me in this last few weeks.

I applied your patch: I got the apt sources with apt-get source apt, applied the patch, built with fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc, and installed the resulting packages (except -doc and -dev). Then, I clicked on the update-manager icon (I kept the updates back for this). And, luckily (at least from the debugging perspective), the bug still occured. I saved again the output of ps auxef and the GDB session, and as far as I can see, nothing changed (I attached it). As far as I can see, this bug could be in synaptic, not in update- manager. If there are some unofficial -dbg packages available to debug it further, I'd be happy to help.

Thanks for your bugreport. Can you always reproduce this behaviour? If you run update-manager on a terminal, is something printed there when this bug happens? Do you have /dev/pts mounted? What version of apt are you using? I can not reproduce this behaviour here, but it looks like a serious regression so I would like to nail it down for tribe-6.
