Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
When running the script, say, to update the kernel, the script can take
hours without advancing. Checking with htop, lzma is taking lots of
memory (I have to add a swapfile in order to avoid the system to run out
of it, using short of 500 MB of RAM), but its CPU use is practically
none. The swapfile isn't used in full, either.
When doing the upgrades, I procure to avoid doing anything else on the
system, expecting the task to go unburdened. Still, I've had to wait
over three hours to get no progress at all: the file
/cdrom/casper/initrd.lz.new doesn't change at all when checking from
time to time with ls.
