Thanks for looking into this so thoroughly

In the meanwhile also lua-mode showed this behaviour for me.

Ah, ok.

So there maybe a chance that, because quite some other modules are
loaded for byte-compiling the remaining ones, that mmm-mode caused all
the other hanging compilations? Let's check.

Hence I removed mmm-mode for now from my system. Next "dpkg
--configure --pending" broke at elpa-smex which you mentioned that you
didn't install it either, due to an RC bug I guess. So I removed that
one, too. Same for elpa-persp-projectile which failed, too.

With these three changes, all emacs configured fine and all these
erlpa packages compiled fine, too.

Hence reassigning all other bugs to the one against mmm-mode (and
reassigning that one from source package to binary package) and
setting according "affects". (Bcc'ed control@bugs.d.o)

Thanks again for your help tracking this down.

P.S.: I assume "installing all elpa packages" didn't inlcude mmm-mode
as it doesn't have the "elpa-" prefix. Hence it's clear why you didn't
run into this even with that test. :-)

Regards, Axel

So I tried the upgrade (well, the downgrade followed by the upgrade as
previously described) with all elpa packages except elpa-smex and
elpa-persp-projectile (these are not currently installable) but didn't
find any byte compilation problems.  You're right that the order of
compilation could be non-deterministic, I'll try a few more times
re-bytecompiling everything.

That one I can replicate (or a related problem). In a clean sid chroot:

1) install emacs-gtk (1:26.1+1-2)
2) install mmm-mode

For me that reliably hangs during byte compilation.

Hrm, shouldn't make too much relevant difference to my sid here.

Nothing special IMHO. Lots of elpa-packages installed, so chances are
high that only a combination triggers this.

Oh, and I ran into it on two different systems -- all on which I
dist-upgraded Sid today. Both are amd64.

mmm-mode is btw. a third case which showed up. This one showed up on
both machines. The order of compiling the modules looks a little bit
random, so it seems to depend a lot on which affected module is
compiled first...

*sigh* Not appropriate for these bugs IMHO, but understandable until
it's figured out which conditions need to be met.

I can't duplicate this problem here (in a buster system). Can you tell
us anything more about the configuration where you see it?
