I wonder how many people are affected by that because they don't run update in the command line and watch the process, but have a system that does the updates at shutdown, or hidden by a GUI, and they don't wait for it to actually finish, but just assume it does after a period of apparent inactivity, and switch off or reset the PC? -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.81.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 16 17:29:43 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
