I have reproduced the bug on a system which seemed to be running fine by running "dpkg-reconfigure snmpd" (ps -ef --forest): root 23011 22986 0 12:08 pts/0 00:00:00 | \_ /usr/ bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure snmpd root 23043 23011 0 12:08 pts/0 00:00:00 | \_ [snmpd.postinst] <defunct>
Here is a different machine hanging during an upgrade:root 10705 7209 2 12:18 tty1 00:00:00 \_ apt-get install snmpd root 10732 10705 0 12:18 tty1 00:00:00 \_ /usr/bin/ dpkg --force-confdef --force-confold --status-fd 20 --configure snmpd root 10733 10732 2 12:18 tty1 00:00:00 \_ /usr/ bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/ snmpd.postinst configur root 10744 10733 0 12:18 tty1 00:00:00 \_ [snmpd.postinst] <defunct>
After a ctrl+c and running dpkg --configure -a:root 10384 7209 0 12:06 tty1 00:00:00 \_ dpkg -- configure -a root 10385 10384 0 12:06 tty1 00:00:00 \_ /usr/bin/ perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/snmpd.postinst configure 5. root 10396 10385 0 12:06 tty1 00:00:00 \_ [snmpd.postinst] <defunct>
