Obviously it's not visibly making any progress, but is it using any CPU,
accessing the disk, or anything of the sort? It might be useful to
attach to the hung process (mozillla, was it?) with gdb or strace and
see what's going on.

Kill the hung process and the packaging system will continue configuring
all of the packages that don't depend on the package that failed to
configure. At that point, you're likely to have an inconsistent system
to some degree. You'll need to work out why the package hung during the
configure stage, find a solution, and then reconfigure it and any other
'broken' packages (which consists of running apt-get in 'fix broken'
mode).
