Subject: samba: install "hangs", synaptic more details reveals pager prompt Source: samba Version: 2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, in synaptic package manager, i did "reload", then "mark all upgrades", then "apply". then i waited. and waited. and waited. synaptic was taking forever to "apply changes". i waited at least 20 minutes, probably 30. then i thought "surely something is wrong," so i clicked the "show more details" thing in the dialog box, and the install was clearly just sitting still. eventually i noticed the ":" prompt at the bottom of the "screen", and realized that it was sitting in a pager. i hit 'q' and the install marched onward. i expected that the install of the package could proceed withouth manual intervention -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
