The retention of console-setup in xenial-proposed is causing a side-effect on ubiquity [2.21.63.5] installation which depend specifically on that 1.108ubuntu15.4 version[1]. IMHO ubiquity should have been put on hold as well to make sure console-setup and ubiquity were release at the same time.
If the hang cannot be fix soon, meaning that console-setup will stay in -proposed for a while or maybe eventually drop ? Maybe we should consider rolling back ubiquity to use console-setup 1.108ubuntu15.3 ? to at least unblock the dependencies created by last console-setup change[2] [1] root@xenial:~# apt-get install ubiquity Reading package lists...
