Public bug reported:
1)Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10
Note: Actually Kubuntu 13.10
2)auto-apt:
Installed: 0.3.23
Candidate: 0.3.23
Version table:
*** 0.3.23 0
500 http://md.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) $ sudo auto-apt update
Should update the database
4) Running the update command (hadn't verified updatedb) causes the
system to freeze (seemingly).
I monitored the process tree with htop, during this command, and noticed, that
/usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb takes 100% CPU (doesn't seem to affect how
responsive is the system) and like 60% of RAM. And it's constantly growing.
Till it takes 100% of RAM, and then 100% SWAP. Then the process is
automatically killed. But if you run the command from a graphical interface,
you won't know it, because it seems like completely frozen.
Workaround: use /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgdcb from auto-apt 0.3.22.
(works for me)
Notes regarding ways to reproduce in Ubuntu 13.10:
There is another bug, the sed line parsing sources.list has to trailing spaces
(^[:[space]:][:[space]:]*deb), which cause update and updatedb to fail (no
repository contents files are downloaded, so 0 entries are created).
Fixing that will make it possible to reproduce the bug, otherwise update
commands won't even work.
