I am having an odd issue installing the Ubuntu package.  I am using Ubuntu 
12.04.3 LTS and have had the same issue with both 
nxlog-ce_2.6.1131_amd64.ubuntu.deb and nxlog-ce_2.5.1089_amd64.ubuntu.deb 
packages.

I have downloaded it and, as root:

# dpkg -i nxlog-ce_2.6.1131_amd64.ubuntu.deb
Selecting previously unselected package nxlog-ce.
(Reading database ... 44608 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking nxlog-ce (from nxlog-ce_2.6.1131_amd64.ubuntu.deb) ...
Setting up nxlog-ce (2.6.1131) ...

Configuration file `/etc/nxlog/nxlog.conf'
 ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
 ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** nxlog.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? Y
Installing new version of config file /etc/nxlog/nxlog.conf ...
 * Starting nxlog daemon...
   ...done.

However, the prompt never returns (have left it at that point for 3+ hours).  
If I hit CTRL-C:
^Cdpkg: error processing nxlog-ce (--install):
 subprocess installed post-installation script was interrupted
Processing triggers for ureadahead ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 nxlog-ce

At this point, it is not correctly installed:
# dpkg -l|grep nxlog
iF  nxlog-ce                          2.6.1131                          
Modular, multi-threaded, high-performance log management solution

A work-around is that when it gets to the point of hanging, I open another 
terminal window and execute "/etc/init.d/nxlog stop", at which point it 
properly completes installation.  However, I am working on automating the 
installation via Puppet and the workaround is not acceptable.  Has anyone 
encountered this issue and has it been resolved?

Respectfully,
Dan Santillo
