ADB 7 known issues

Issue From Fixed Workaround

Ansible task hangs indefinitely on a specific host during package installation or APT cache update

7.4.0

 — 

Solution:

  1. On the target host, identify the processes locked by APT:

    $ ps aux | grep apt

  2. Terminate found processes:

    $ kill <PID>

Once the hanging processes are terminated, the task will retry automatically. Make sure to terminate the hanging processes on all affected hosts — in this case, the ADCM action will resume its operation, and you can restart it in the ADCM UI.

As a prevention measure, disable and stop apt-daily-upgrade.timer, apt-daily.timer, and apt-daily.service to prevent background auto-updates from locking APT:

$ sudo systemctl disable apt-daily-upgrade.timer apt-daily.timer apt-daily.service
$ sudo systemctl stop apt-daily-upgrade.timer apt-daily.timer apt-daily.service
