apt-get hangs at the command gzip -d

[Binh Ngo]

Hi,

Did anybody encounter the problem where apt-get hangs at the command 
gzip -d during the instsoft task?

It hangs after all packages have been downloaded and before the 
preconfigure step. If I kill that gzip -d then apt-get continues!

The work-around for me now is to create a hook at instsoft and check for 
that gzip -d after a certain time.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
