severity 459762 serious thanks Hi Gabor,
I'm setting this bug to serious severity -- perhaps it's already present in an earlier version, but until we figure out what's going on, we don't want this version to enter testing.

Something seems to go wrong with the debconf stuff. Did you get any debconf prompts when upgrading the package? I can't seem to figure out why it would hang, though. Could you send the output of "sasldblistusers2 | wc -l". > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash This is of course worth noting. Could you try running the postinst script by hand (/var/lib/dpkg/info/sasl2-bin.postinst) as root and see what happens? Better yet, set DEBCONF_DEBUG to "developer" before running the postinst script. Back up your /etc/sasldb2 first; other than that, it should be completely safe. Thanks for your help!
