apt-get locked #12

Apt-get fails to install software, e.g.

jdm@tod:~$ sudo apt-get install csh
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libdrm2:i386 linux-image-3.13.0-34-generic
  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-34-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  csh
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 132 not upgraded.
5 not fully installed or removed.

jdm@tod:~$

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Same error February 22nd, and I didn't fix it then either:

jdm@tod:~$ sudo apt-get install autoconf-archive
...

It appears that apt-get is stuck:

jdm@tod:~$ ps aux | grep "apt\|PID"

jdm@tod:~$

lsof never returned after 5 minutes:

jdm@tod:~$ sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock -n

I tried sending SIGINT to the two processes, but that had no effect. SIGTERM killed it.

jdm@tod:~$ sudo kill -s SIGTERM 13161
jdm@tod:~$ ps aux | grep "apt\|PID"
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND

jdm@tod:~$

Do we need to upgrade/restart?

@bradnerComputation I was trying to work on other things since you are on a retreat!

jdimatteo · 2015-03-26T03:50:11Z

@bradnerComputation I mean, I didn't mean to interrupt your retreat :)

charlesylin · 2015-03-26T03:52:32Z

No worries. We are still up. Just hard to work on tod.

@bradnerComputation apt-get on tod seems pretty messed up. I'm going to try running sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade

jdimatteo · 2015-03-26T05:58:11Z

after apt-get update && apt-get upgrade , apt-get remained in a bad state with errors like http://paste.ubuntu.com/10682050/

I'm giving up for the night. I guess this is some remaining stuff that never got upgraded successfully from 12.04 to 14.04. Maybe someone else can have better luck. Maybe my Linux system admin skills are too rusty and I should just stop. This was the last thing I tried:

Thanks for trying to fix this John,

I've got to physically move tod on Monday so will do a restart and try to
ungunk it.
