Bug#166758: no go - still error for me
I have played with the Cache-Limit line to no avail. Currently it is
sitting at
APT::Cache-Limits 134217728;
If it is becuase I am running out of disk space, here are my disk free:
/dev/hda9 1446780 1306372 140408 91% /var
I used to be able to fix this by gradually removing lines from my
sources.list, but now I am down to the minimum I can cope with.
I have 1304 packages installed, according to
dpkg --get-selections | grep ' install' | wc -l
trying an strace on the apt-get update process eventaully locks up (does
this mean there is a potential race condition in apt-get?):
[pid 19942] read(6, "201 URI Done\nURI: http://mirror."..., 4000) = 264
Hit http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au unstable/non-free Release..., 73
) = 73
[pid 19942] gettimeofday({1043577064, 49024}, NULL) = 0
[pid 19942] rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [WINCH], [], 8) = 0
[pid 19942] rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0

[pid 19942] close(5) = 0
[pid 19942] close(8 <unfinished ...>
[pid 19944] <... select resumed> ) = 1 (in [0])
[pid 19942] <... close resumed> ) = 0
[pid 19944] read(0, <unfinished ...>
[pid 19942] kill(19944, SIGINT <unfinished ...>
[pid 19944] <... read resumed> "", 4000) = 0
[pid 19942] <... kill resumed> ) = 0
[pid 19944] --- SIGINT (Interrupt) ---
[pid 19942] wait4(19944,
so I don't know how to debug this further.
