i'm seeing this as well (amd64/sid fwiw)...
Get:5 http://ftp.se.debian.org sid/main Packages [5777kB]
99% [5 Packages gzip 0]
i attached to it with strace, which loops around:
select(8, [5 6 7], [], NULL, {0, 500000}) = 0 (Timeout)
stat("/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ftp.se.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages.decomp", 0x7fff5336fec0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [WINCH], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
write(1, "\r99% [5 Packages gzip 0]", 24) = 24
select(8, [5 6 7], [], NULL, {0, 500000}) = 0 (Timeout)
stat("/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ftp.se.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages.decomp", 0x7fff5336fec0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [WINCH], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
write(1, "\r99% [5 Packages gzip 0]", 24) = 24
race condition maybe? i don't seem to have any defunct/unreaped child
processes.
here's some graphical output from pstree:
apt-get-+-gpgv
-gzip
-http
the http is stuck in a single select call, as are gzip/gpgv
if i kill the http method, i get a little more output:
Get:5 http://ftp.se.debian.org sid/main Packages [5777kB]
99% [5 Packages gzip 0]
W: There are no public key available for the following key IDs:
A70DAF536070D3A1
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
but obviously, that means the update died.
