Re: Safe-upgrade, My Worst Nightmare has Occurred.



Hello Martin,

Is there any way to make safe-upgrade at least attempt
to go to the next task or at least report why it is stuck?

Your error description is a bit obscure, so I’ll have to ask for more
information:

Currently running jobs:
- What is the output of ps auxw?
- Specifically, are there any commands listed as "D"?
- If so, what files does this process try to access at the moment
(lsof -p <pid>)?
- Are there any commands listed in top/htop as pulling 100%

Logs:
- Is there anything in the output of dmesg that might point at the
problem?
- Is there anything in /var/log/{messages,syslog}?

Human error:
- Are you sure that safe-upgrade is stuck rather than simply waiting
for some input?

Best regards,

Claudius
