Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upgrade-system
When a service is not nice behaveing during upgrade process, the process
is stalled.
For me this happend with cups, which stalled at 'stop cups' the last two
distribution upgrades and need to be killed by me manually while the
upgrade.
For a normal user, both these upgrades (10.04 to 10.10 and 10.10 to
11.04) would have been dead.
This may be cups' fault, but in the chaos of a system under upgrade
conditions, I guess service restart / shutdown will not allways be
reliable. So maybe the package management could timeout service
restarts? Maybe that should not be done on upgrade-system, but every
pre/postinstall?
