Once again an 'apt upgrade' has stalled on my 1Gb Pi 4. Here's where
it stops after a standard 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade' :-
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this
and/or ways to diagnose what's happening?
There are logs in /var/log/apt/ that may be useful. If they're not
useful, I would go with:
strace -o upgrade.output *troublesome command here*
on the step that causes the issue. -o names an output file, which will
contain stuff like:
execve("/usr/bin/aptitude", ["aptitude", "search", "ldap"], 0x7fff03348030 brk(NULL) = 0x559115325000 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/lib/tls/x86_64/x86_64/libapt-pkg.so.6.0",
This is quite voluminous. Ideally, it'll log enough information so
that you can narrow things down to a particular packgage being
installed.

isn't looking good, either.
I am BOFH. Resistance is futile. Your network will be assimilated.
