Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.3
Severity: grave

I was trying to update two of our servers to the most recent 'unstable'
versions yet have succeeded for only one, the other one hangs forever
after issuing apt-get upgrade on the commandline:

---------CUT---------
bash$ apt-get upgrade
[...]

  tasksel tcl8.4 tcpd tcpdump tex-common texinfo textutils tk8.4 ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-dejavu ucf unrar
  unzip util-linux vacation vim vim-common vim-runtime whois wwwconfig-common x-dev x11-common
  xbase-clients xfree86-common xfsdump xfsprogs xlibmesa-gl xlibs xlibs-data xlibs-static-dev xpdf-common
  xpdf-utils xutils yaird zlib1g zlib1g-dev zoo zsh
382 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 36 not upgraded.
---------CUT---------

All our servers share the same NFS based archive for package updates,
if that matters. For that reason I have also looked for any (nfs) lock
files, but did not find anything suspicious.

An strace on the hanging process shows this:

---------CUT---------
bash$ strace -p4274
Process 4274 attached - interrupt to quit
close(11 
---------CUT---------

Another thing is that I cannot even kill -9 the process, only a reboot
(obviously :-) makes it go away.

However, I am able to install new packages individually using dpkg -i,
yet apt-get install does not work either. dpkg -i though is working,
I updated apt itself from 0.6.43.1 to 0.6.43.3 this way, but 
apt-get install OTOH does not work either.

Then this isn't a bug in apt: something is wrong with your NFS mount.
