I also have this problem, but it affects Lucid (10.04) and Maveric (10.10). However, I don't have a flashdrive or anything else but an ext4 system drive in a notebook.
Also there are no messages in my /var/log/messages that pertain to apt, dpkg or the like. It would be nice to learn how to debug this in more detail. Can anyone help? -- dpkg hangs while unpacking replacement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
