1 year agoI’d leave the nation sources.list alone, but temporarily move all of the files out of sources.list.d and see if that fixes it.

Definitely sounds like auto-update if it’s respawning itself on every boot. The fact that it never exits is weird though; have you added any third party repos? What’s in your apt sources.list file(s)?
Thank you valve! I wish for this option every time I buy a bunch of games on humble bundle
Auto update itself isn’t the root problem. The problem is that apt update is hanging and never finishing. It just happens to be getting called automatically as part of an auto update system, but the root issue would still persist even if OP disables auto updates.
When apt update fails to complete, it’s almost always because of a broken repo somewhere; hence my question about sources.list.
