Apps Stuck Updating - Cleaning up old install - even after stopping/restarting task

[martinkbs]

In my case, the servers have the following configurations:

Contabo
Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
5.4.0-132-generic

Hetzner
Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
5.4.0-132-generic

Alright, this seems to be a kernel issue. Other programs are experiencing similar:

• https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/issues/2500
• https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/containerd/+bug/1996678 (it's getting reverted at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2022-November/135043.html)
• https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1990190
• https://www.mail-archive.com/kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net/msg492057.html
• https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/issues/3641

GOMAXPROCS=1 apparently alleviates the issue. So, I will try this one.
