Package: gridengine-common Version: 6.2-4 Severity: important
I'm attempting to install gridengine-common with a set of preseeded information (none of which I'm necessarily happy with at the moment, but I'll talk about that in future bug reports). When I attempt to install the package, it hangs at this point: senpai:/root# aptitude install gridengine-common Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: gridengine-common 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/352kB of archives.

I reached this point once before, and reinstalled the system in order to start over.
