Problem with apt list


RockBian

Recommended Posts

Today I updated and upgraded my system, and after a reboot 'apt list' did no longer work. It shows 'Listing... done', and then uses 100% CPU on a single core, without producing anything. According to strace it's looping on reading a file:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/var/lib/apt/lists/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_buster_main_binary-arm64_Packages.lz4", O_RDONLY) = 28

This repeats over and over. I checked the file /var/lib/apt/lists/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_buster_main_binary-arm64_Packages.lz4, and it seems valid, as in, lz4 decompresses it without complaints. When I put the decompressed /var/lib/apt/lists/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_buster_main_binary-arm64_Packages in the same directory, 'apt list' works.

 

What is going on? It might be size related. The file is the biggest *_Packages.lz4 file in that directory. There are bigger lz4 files, but according to strace they are not accessed. The timestamp of deb.debian.org_debian_dists_buster_main_binary-arm64_Packages.lz4 is Dec 5 11:03, so I don't think it grew, at last update.

 

The upgraded files are:

If you want to speed it up, you can quick-fix it by doing the following:

 

sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02-armbian-compress-indexes
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt update

 

If you don't want to remove 02-armbian-compress-indexes you can edit it and change true to false. Do note that these will, unfortunately, be overwritten/replaced by future updates to the linux-buster-root-current-helios64 package.
