This solution seems to work. From forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=293514:
Once stuck at installing anthy, try this, where xxxxx is the process id that ps gives you for /usr/bin/mkworddic: Alt-F2 #switch to a command line console ps #type command "ps", then <Enter> kill -9 xxxxx #type using process id from ps Alt-F1 #go back to install screen Install seems to nicely give up on anthy and proceed from there. Worked for me.
