Title:
  /var/log/apt/history.log fd leaked on lvs invocation

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  Hi

  While removing a kernel of my system, I saw:
  File descriptor 46 (/var/log/apt/history.log) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 17966: /bin/sh

  Except of the log:
  [...]

  This suggests APT is leaving a file open to a child which it should
  not?
