For those that do see this issue, is it reproducible from update- manager? That is, once it happens, if you cancle/quit update-manager, and then try to use it to update again, does it again hang (e.g., on php7.0-xml as in this bug report).
If so, we might be able to get some more debugging by modifying the postinst locally. @f-abeni: do you have any local modifications to your php-xml .ini file snippet? Also, if you do re-encounter the hang, does /var/log/apt/history.log contain the "Use of uninitialized value" errors already (before you hit cancel or kill update-manager)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to debconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646739 Title: package php7.0-xml 7.0.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128 Status in debconf package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in php7.0 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: During a software upgrade, process was stuck on php7.0-xml configuration for 20 minutes, after that I killed the process.
