All, About 90 percent of the time apt-get install hangs while unpacking. This requires a ctl_c to stop, and a dpkg --configure -a before retrying.
There are 4 related processes so I am wondering if my setup is starting too many. Example from on a reinstall after an aborted try (ps ax): 4839 pts/0 S 0:00 apt-get --reinstall install gimp1.2 4849 pts/0 S 0:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp1.2_1.2.3-2_i386.deb 4856 pts/0 S 0:00 dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp1.2_1.2.3-2_i386.deb 4857 pts/0 S 0:00 dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp1.2_1.2.3-2_i386.deb 4858 pts/0 S 0:00 dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp1.2_1.2.3-2_i386.deb Any suggestions are welcome! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
