I just did a network upgrade from Feisty to GutsyRC, and repeatedly ran into the same problem - dpkg dies and goes <defunct> and apt-get hangs forever. It kept happening on kmail and openoffice.org packages. Have to open a terminal and kill apt-get manually. This happened wtih the PC(x86) version. The bug is definitely still present.
What really surprised me is that nothing entered in the terminal works, as mentioned above, not even CTRL-Z or C or \. gm -- update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
