Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debianutils
Whenever clamav-freshclam is upgraded cron.daily never completes. The
leads to anacron still running the next day which leads to an email. The
means I have to manually kill cron.daily so that the computer can start
to install unattended upgrades again.
I believe that "run-parts --report" uses pipes to track the output of
its children.
Unfortunately /etc/cron.daily/apt calls /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade which dups
these pipes and then actually does the upgrades.
This has the consequence of meaning that these pipes are passed onto children -
so if clamav-freshclam is upgraded then its restarted daemon process still has
the pipes open and thus the run-parts cannot proceed.
I'm not sure if this actually a is clamav-freshclam problem as it only
closed file descriptors 0, 1 & 2 when going into daemon mode thus
leaving the pipes open.
There may be other daemons when upgraded that have the same problem I
have not checked.
