I am having the same problem with "apt-get install xfonts-100dpi" in a domU.
I inserted the "set -x" command into the xfonts-100dpi.postinst script and found the culprit to be "laptop-detect". I also searched for this problem associated with laptop-detect and found this bug report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=417802. The original report looks old compared to the first report date of this problem, but it sure looks like the same problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
