* debian/90-updates-available - Now directly prints the cached info if available => avoid login stalls due to motd updates (LP: #525674) - Also fixes a former potential issue of existing but not readable cached info by changing the test from -e to -r * debian/99update-notifier: - Now additionally triggers the an asynchronous background update of the cached info via update-motd-updates-available hooking into APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success. * data/update-motd-updates-available: - This now only contains the slow part of actually 'updating the cached info'. - It executes asynchronously to avoid stalling apt-get update. - The file is no more called by pam to avoid login stalls. - It also fixes an issue with concurrent updates clobbering the cached file via mv being atomic -- Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrha...@canonical.com> Fri, 13 Nov 2015 12:28:25 +0100 ** Changed in: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525674 Title: apt-check hangs, preventing login via SSH To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/525674/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
