Public bug reported:
(I tried to file this bug over the zramswap-enabler, but apport won't
let me choose it as the package. Is this correct? I can't remember if
this is a package from ubuntu's repositories.)
Today (a few minutes ago) I confirmed to the update-manager the
installation of some software updates on ubuntu 12.04. The installation
couldn't finish because when dpkg was about to unpack/configure
zramswap-enabler, it simply stalled.
I killed the dpkg process and later I then asked it to configure the
remaining packages. It reported an error on zramswap-enabler (as
expected because of the interruption).
After that, I cleared the apt cache and asked apt-get to reinstall
zramswap-enabler, when then I faced the exact problem.
I look now at the processes list on gnome-system-monitor and see that both the
apt-get and dpkg processes are sleeping, with no open files and no memory map
(stangely), and on the console I get this output:
(pt-br) Preparando para substituir zramswap-enabler 0.2.1-0~21~precise1 (usando
.../zramswap-enabler_0.2.1-0~21~precise1_all.deb) ...
(en) Preparing to replace zramswap-enabler 0.2.1-0~21~precise1 (using
.../zramswap-enabler_0.2.1-0~21~precise1_all.deb) ...
And nothing more happens. I don't know where in the process of
installing this happened. Maybe the pre-script is holding dpkg back or
something like this... But I don't have much knowledge in this area to
guess more securely.
I'm filing this bug now because I'm not sure if this error may cause
something bad to happen that prevents me to boot ubuntu (maybe I'm
exaggerating, but I can't know).
