Comment(by jdreed):
Er, sorry, there's also:
{{{
31328 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt ||
true
31329 ? R 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure
--apt
}}}
Looks like dpkg-preconfigure is been repeatedly called and failing. Over
the past minute, I've seen at least 10 processes similar to the ones
above. There's only ever one set in ps output, but they're appearing,
terminating, and respawning, AFAICT. They do so fast enough that I can't
even attach gdb in time. Anyone debugging should repeatedly run "ps
auxww" a few times, grepping for dpkg, and you'll see them.
