Tried to apt update one day. The apt update outputs:
0% [Working]
apt runs its HTTP methods /usr/lib/apt/methods/http, but this never completes. Doing a tcpdump on the network shows HTTP never sending a request on the network at all and seems to stall. strace into the process as it is starting up with:
while true; do ps -ef | grep http | grep apt | awk 'print$2' | while read a ; do strace -p "$a" ; done ; done
shows a large amount of reads. Some of those reads have contents like a p5.js code fragment and here is a sysdig output:
http (31675) > read fd=4(<f>/swapfile) size=4096
http (31675) < read res=4096 data=is[prop] = value;nn if (this._isGlobal) {n window[prop] =
After which, /usr/lib/apt/methods/http goes into a constantly context switching mode and starts taking up 100% of CPU. The apt version is apt 1.7.2. But updated a few months back.
Why is it exhibiting these behaviours?

I'll run the old binary to try figure out exactly why it does that when i have the time, and yes i do want to know why it isn't connecting. There are no packets on the network, so the http binary isn't doing a socket connection. It reads up everything in the swapfile and hangs after that, which isn't normal.

Well, this won't answer the question of why and how, but here's how you can rectify this.
The original apt cannot be used, so there needs to be a way to download a deb file that rectifies the symptom. In this case, the way to do this is to have another system apt download the deb by doing:
apt-get install --download-only <file>
After that dpkg -i <file> to reinstall the package or upgrade that package. The only other question is whether apt verifies the package contents or not.
