I am seeing this on a busy server as well. I am running Ubuntu 10.4 in an openvz container on a busy server. Ext3 is the underlying file system and the server itself is quite busy.
Dpkg hangs for at least a good hour on: /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 14 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/ifupdown_0.6.8ubuntu29.2_amd64.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624877 Title: INFO: task dpkg:23317 blocked for more than 120 seconds. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
