Hi... It turns out that modules-config is hanging during the call to db_capb backup in modules-config.
This is the end of a trace produced by adding a set -x to the top of modules-config: ++ set -- settitle SETTITLE ++ eval 'db_settitle () { echo "SETTITLE $@" >&3 # Set to newline to get whole line. local IFS='\'' '\'' local _LINE read -r _LINE # Disgusting, but it'\''s the only good way to split the line, # preserving all other whitespace. RET="${_LINE#[! ][ ]}" return ${_LINE%%[ ]*} }' ++ set -- apache-ssl enable mod_python ++ unset _old_opts + db_version 2.0 + echo 'VERSION 2.0' + local 'IFS= ' + local _LINE + read -r _LINE (hang) Both apache and apache-ssl are installed. I can't explain why this happens. The postinst script that calls modules-config is almost identical to that of libapache-mod-perl. =) Peter
