This was a critical performance regression in 10.10, and certainly
should be fixed there.

Title:
  apt-get automatically starts and uses 100% CPU forever after each boot

Status in APT:
  Fix Released
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, at each boot apt-get starts
  and remains active forever using 100% CPU.

  When the update notification is shown and I try to update from it, it
  remains paused waiting for apt-get to stop.

  It never stop. I always need to kill it.

  I see similar report here:

  My problem didn't just "disappeared".

  Edit: The Problem is occured in Ubuntu 10.10 without Upgrade too.
  Pleaxe fix it on Ubuntu 10.10 too.
