I think I just had this problem while running Precise as guest in Virtualbox (4.1.18 on a Precise host). Installation of package linux- header-generic would always hang on:
Unpacking replacement linux-headers-3.2.0-27 ... while being unable to use Ctrl-C, killall -9 dpkg would kill the process though. astrostls suggestion to use: echo "force-unsafe-io" > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/force-unsafe-io seems to have fixed the issue at least for the moment, I could install linux-header-generic without problems afterwards. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624877 Title: INFO: task dpkg:23317 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
