Indeed. It seems more likely that the problems arose because Synaptic
was forcefully terminated. Of course, it may have been necessary due to
a (now) unknowable problem.
It would be helpful (maybe) to know how long Russell waited before
performing the reset after Synaptic hung. Too late now, but it might
simply have been performing complex 'bookkeeping' tasks. For example,
occasionally, I've seen initrd.img being written out more than once
during an update (although not recently). That can take time.
