Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.10-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I was trying to install gfxboot-themes when during the install it kinda hung while installing. $ sudo aptitude install gfxboot-themes The following NEW packages will be installed: gfxboot-themes 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 11.0 MB of archives. After unpacking 92.5 MB will be used. Get: 1 http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/ jessie/main gfxboot-themes all 4.5.2-1.1-2 [11.0 MB] Fetched 11.0 MB in 8min 32s (21.4 kB/s) Retrieving bug reports...

I then tried to purge it and that too became stuck :- $ sudo aptitude purge gfxboot-themes -y The following packages will be REMOVED: gfxboot-themes{p} 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 92.5 MB will be freed. As can be seen it is stuck there. I did check that the installation happened. $ apt-show-versions -a gfxboot-themes gfxboot-themes:all 4.5.2-1.1-2 install ok installed gfxboot-themes:all 4.5.2-1.1-2 jessie debian.ec.as6453.net No testing-updates version gfxboot-themes:all 4.5.2-1.1-2 unstable debian.ec.as6453.net No experimental version gfxboot-themes:all/jessie 4.5.2-1.1-2 uptodate Any ideas would be good. Looking forward to know what might have gone wrong.
This looks to me as a problem with the package installations / uninstallation scripts. If the scripts do strange things and hang, there is not much that aptitude can do there, until there is a new version of the package that has the scripts working properly and solves the mess. It looks like this package had serious issues at the time, c.f. [1]. I don't know if the issue is related, though. In any case, could you purge the package in the end, after perhaps upgrading to a new version of the package, or did the problem continue for a while / until now?
