Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
I tried to install libmoon (I know, I know) using apt-get. It hung while
unpacking the replacement. The last message was: "Unpacking replacement
libmoon". Eventually I had to kill it and reboot. From then on,
everytime I ran apt-get it would retry the libmoon installation.
Eventually I found a command to stop that from happening (I don't
remember what it was). I was thinking it was just that one package.
However, now its happening on the ifupdown package.
I'm pretty sure that its actually dpkg that's hanging. I tried running
the following command and, sure enough, it hangs:
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/ifupdown_0.6.8ubuntu29_i386.deb
If I turn on debugging, the last line I see is "deferred extract mass
sync". Then nothing.
