[techtalk] debian q: apt/dpkg/etc

[Nicole Zimmerman]

When I've been upgrading the last couple of times via capt or even just
getting package lists via apt-get update, I am seeing a lot of this:

iput: device 00:01 inode 4096 still has aliases!

Sometimes it is device 00:00 with different numbers, sometimes device
03:07 with different numbers... 00:01 is always 4096, one of them is
always large numbers (03:07 i believe). 

This is currently spewing all over my tty2 (oh wait it just stopped), or
was for a good 2 or 3 minutes after I stopped/finished apt-get. capt
invokes dpkg/apt and only gives the messages during that time (not when
I'm browsing packages).

Now it seems less characteristic of caapt/dpkg/apt... I just attempted to
find a man page, figured out that what I was man-ing for wouldn't be
there, so ctrl+c'd it: again more spewage. This time it included 03:07
with inconsistent numbers in a high number series but a small range for
the inodes, and also 03:09 (couldn't catch the numbers). Again, it
continued for a good 2 minutes... mostly consisting of the 00:01 inode
4096 after the first 30 seconds.

This is very recent, like the last week... any ideas as to what it is and
how I can remedy it??
