Bug#619295: Happens on x86 too

[John Winters]

I just remembered I had one other system with a GUI which hadn't been 
upgraded to 6.0.2.  This one is x86.  I started up the gnome update 
interface and sure enough, the update-manager took one core to full load 
and kept it there.  I let it run for 5 minutes of CPU time before I 
killed it.

There were 117 packages waiting to be updated, and an "apt-get upgrade" 
worked fine.
