Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-12
Severity: normal
[Note that as I mention below, re-running the upgrade (after killing
discover the first time) succeeds.]
Doing an apt-get upgrade (of -11 to -12.1):
Preparing to replace xserver-xfree86 4.2.1-11 (using
.../xserver-xfree86_4.2.1-12.1_i386.deb) ...
It hung here. pstree -pl shows:

strace on the discover process shows:
maneki-neko$ sudo strace -p 27126
Process 27126 attached - interrupt to quit
read(4, unfinished ...
Process 27126 detached
lsof on that process then shows:

discover 27126 root3w FIFO0,5 12385809 pipe
discover 27126 root4u CHR 4,65 1122678 /dev/ttyS1
ie. it is hanging trying to read from ttyS1. This isn't symlinked
from anything in /dev, nor do I see it in any relevant config files in
/etc or /etc/X11 (it is in /etc/efax.rc, but it would surprise me if
that mattered.)
Re-running the upgrade (after killing discover out from under it,
causing that part of the upgrade to fail) did end up running to
completion, so that may make this hard to diagnose.
