I can also confirm this issue. I'm running vanilla Ubuntu Server 12.03 LTS in a Hyper-V VM.

It's worth noting that I have no idea what the hold-up is. `iotop` isn't showing any meaningful disk-activity, and the CPU isn't loaded at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947664 Title: Unpacking linux-headers unbelievably slow in Lubuntu Precise (Beta 1) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dpkg/+bug/947664/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
