I would like to add that I had this problem with a simple apt-get upgrade. That has nothing to do with hardy dist-upgrade.
A newer version of language-pack-en or language-pack-en-base (I don't remember which) invokes a postinst command /usr/share/locales/install- language-pack, which invokes /usr/sbin/locale-gen, which invokes localedef, which hangs. I had to boot the -14 kernel, do the upgrade, and then I could go back to -15. -- Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 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
