FATAL -> Failed to fork.

I get the above error and I have monitored the memory usage during this process. It goes to a threshold of 97.2% (out of my 2 GB ram) and actually starts to increase the swap usage too. But on about 200 MB of swap the operations fails with the above error. aptoncd window get closed. So it seems like 2GB memory is also not enough these days :-D. Thinking of buying another 2G card ( just kidding ). See the screenshot.
