Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cups
On upgrading cups hangs at: "Unpacking replacement cups-ppdc ... Preparing to replace cups 1.4.4-6ubuntu2.2 (using .../cups_1.4.4-6ubuntu2.3_amd64.deb) ..." the stuck process is 'stop cups', which appears happy to wait forever (left it half an hour or so). The previous update did the same thing. sudo kill -9 <offending process> allows the upgrades to continue until we get to: "Installing new version of config file /etc/init/cups.conf ..." where it gets stuck again. At this point we have this process tree: `- aptitude `- /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 38 --configure linux-headers-2.6.35-24 libc-dev-bin linux-libc-dev libc6-dev libc6-i386 li `- /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/cups.postinst configure 1.4.4-6ubuntu2.2 `- /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/cups.postinst configure 1.4.4-6ubuntu2.2 `- start cups systracing this process hows: "restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>" sudo kill kills the 'start' and lets the rest of the upgrades complete. manually running start cups also hangs $ps aux | grep cups root 1083 0.0 0.0 72128 3832 ? Ss 15:28 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf hope that's useful.
