From your ps output it seems the installation is stuck in the configure script, which would seem to point to something else. Could edit for example /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst, and add a «set -x» at the beginning, just after the shebang. Then try running «dpkg --configure udev»? It might be useful to see also where it is stuck in, you can check all childs of the configure script with something like «pstree -p» for example, or with «pgrep -P <PPID>», with PPID being the pid of the configure script. Optionally you could attach to the process that seems to be stuck with «strace -p PID», so see what's happening. Thanks, Guillem
