Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to install gfxboot-themes when during the install it
kinda hung while installing.
$ sudo aptitude install gfxboot-themes

It comes at that last line and just hanged there. I waited for quite
some time but nothing happened, it kinda stuck there.
I then tried to purge it and that too became stuck :-
$ sudo aptitude purge gfxboot-themes -y
The following packages will be REMOVED:

Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 92.5 MB will be freed.
As can be seen it is stuck there. I did check that the installation happened.

Any ideas would be good. Looking forward to know what might have gone wrong.
This looks to me as a problem with the package installations /
uninstallation scripts. If the scripts do strange things and hang,
there is not much that aptitude can do there, until there is a new
version of the package that has the scripts working properly and solves
the mess.
It looks like this package had serious issues at the time, c.f. [1]. I
don't know if the issue is related, though.
In any case, could you purge the package in the end, after perhaps
upgrading to a new version of the package, or did the problem continue
for a while / until now?
[1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752231
With the information provided we cannot do much about it in aptitude,
evidence points to problems in scripts coming from the package or dpkg
handling it, so closing this report.
It is unlike if you can provide more relevant information after the long
time, but if you do please reopen.
Cheers.
