no, the output is just unpacking snmpd or processing triggers for man-db > May I ask why this package is unpacked/installed AFTER the reboot? Wouldn't it > be better if this was done by FAI? That is a very good question, actually :-) In theory from the dhcp option hostname, some classess are automattically added for cfengine (things like: if the hostname matches a regex, for instance). But I will indeed add those packages to the FAIBASE file and my problem should be gone. However, dpkg should not be hanging like this, but this is not a FAI problem. It is a debian problem. Thanks for your suggestion! -- natxo
