That usually means that something else was using APT at the time you ran that command. If everything's working now, can this be closed?

[MichaIng]

Probably the daily APT update check. I was already thinking that we need to detect it, print a meaningful message and allow some minutes for it to finish.

@redschumi
What time does your daily cron job run?

grep daily /etc/crontab

22:32:09 you timestamp above doesn't look like a usual time though.

@MichaIng

25 1 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || { cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily; }

Okay, default 01:25. Not sure what blocked APT then. Use e.g. htop to see running processes and identify what has called APT, in case you run into the same issue again.

Ok, thanks, will do that.
