Closes: #459344 I don't quite agree with the way this patch is supposed to fix the issue. If /etc/cron.daily/apt has something to do on the system (because APT was configured accordingly), then, when the cache cannot be locked, /etc/cron.daily/apt cannot do its job and it should indeed exit *with errors* to alert the administrator that something went wrong! Only if /etc/cron.daily/apt has absolutely nothing to do on the system (because of APT configuration), it should do absolutely nothing and exit successfully, without even checking whether the cache can be locked! -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/index.html#nanodocs The nano-document series is here! .....................................................
