pkg-static consuming 100% cpu
-
I'm not an expert, but could one via ssh temporarily replace pkg-static with a shell script that basically does nothing? If so, can someone with more skills than myself show me the way?

then maybe someone should just pull the Ethernet plug out of them until things are sorted out instead of messing up with some systems that people depend on.
Honestly I would have said "shit happens, maybe they can just fix it going forward" but his attitude of leaving the servers on knowing it causes issues like this makes me wonder what other things are deemed as acceptable by "the man in charge", things that a dumb user like me might not be able grasp even by looking at the code (which I have neither time nor desire to dedicate myself to) -
Guys, just disable the dashboard automatic update check, the process will disappear after some time. No reboot or anything is needed.
Yeah its annoying to eat one core after the update server broke, but not this dramatic.
I'm sure the Devs will fix this issue in future.-Rico

Identical issue with my copy of the community version here (2.4.4-RELEASE-p2, upgraded three times since installation).
I've killed off the pkg-static process with "kill" and disabled the "Dashboard Check" for updates. This seems to bring CPU usage back to normal, provided that I don't open the Update screen.

I've done the following and corrected (temporarily) the 100% CPU.
Via ssh, I moved /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static to /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static.old and created /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static (a shell script) with the following contents.
while :
do
sleep 5000
done;don't forget to chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static
This has corrected my CPU usage until the servers are back up. I am not sure if this survives a reboot, but as such it's easy to implement.

I disabled updates in the dashboard in /system_update_settings.php 30 minutes ago, no change. Did some of you guys had any luck with that?

Can take up to ~1 hour. But it will stop, trust me.

@rico It just did. I guess I didn't wait long enough. Thanks for the tip.
-
@rico Disable automatic update. Nice tip! Thanks from Brazil!

Problem disappeared

Package servers appear to be up now, at least from my location.

Same here, looks like back in business.

I split this off from the previous thread that was almost a year old. Locking this since it's solved and to prevent similar thread necromancy from happening here.
