Hi, Thanks for suggestion. Here it freezes to "Preparing unpacking". What file should I change with set x to know more about what happens?

Regards,

Hi!

Leaving some context here, the rest is in the bug log.

Followup-For: Bug #801737
The problem now happens with many packages. Thus dpkg freezes while setting:
udev
systemd-sysv
modemmanager
virtualbox-dkms
I cannot manipulate (neither remove, nor reinstall, nor configure) pcscd,
libgempc430.

So there's a really big problem. Unable to track it with -D. Eow could I get
more info? How can I clean my deps tree?
This to me does not seem to be a problem in dpkg itself, but something
very wrong on the system. From your ps output it seems the installation
is stuck in the configure script, which would seem to point to something
else.

Could edit for example /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst, and add a
«set -x» at the beginning, just after the shebang. Then try running
«dpkg --configure udev»?

It might be useful to see also where it is stuck in, you can check all
childs of the configure script with something like «pstree -p» for
example, or with «pgrep -P <PPID>», with PPID being the pid of the
configure script.

Optionally you could attach to the process that seems to be stuck with
«strace -p PID», so see what's happening.
Thanks for your answer. The results of these tests are here:

I preferred testing with modemmanager, as udev created a lot of weird
processes. If I understand all what I read, the problem would be with
systemd, etc. Should I reassign there? Indeed, virtualbox, udev,
modemmanager, could have problems related to systemd handling of services.
Doing so now.

Thanks for your help. After it I'll try to reinstall pcscd as dpkg says "so
irrelevant status, you should reinstall before removing", but I'm unable to
reinstall it as apt-get tries to configure udev.
You could try perhaps doing: «apt-get download pcscd» and then
«dpkg -i pcscd_*.deb», but maybe that's not enough.

Thanks,
Guillem
