Maybe some other setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf changes the behavior
of these lines. Can you email me your /etc/apt/apt.conf?
well yes the lines doing that are the same, however my apt.conf is
very light yours is very complex so I thought perhaps all that
complexity was messing things up.
[eb@plato eb]$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
DPkg
{
// Auto re-mounting of readonly /usr
Pre-Invoke {"mount -o remount,rw /usr";};
Post-Invoke {"mount -o remount,ro /usr";};
// Pre-configure all packages before they are installed.
Pre-Install-Pkgs {"dpkg-preconfig --apt";};
}
as for my busy /usr yes, that has nothing to do with apt as trying to
remount it readonly manually also fails, its probably some
braindamaged program being started/restarted leaving a file open with
write permission. (the xfs's tend to trigger this)
