I have had the same bug. I did some troubleshooting and it only occurs when I am doing heavy disk activity (potentially on another volume). Whenever this occurs, if I try to issue a "sync" it also hangs for a very long time.
Maybe dpkg tries to sync the discs? In any case, if I wait until the disk activity ends, and the system is idle, then I issue a sync, I have to wait a long time (sometimes 10 minutes) for the sync to complete. Once it's done, the dpkg gets unstuck and continues. Of course, on a heavily-loaded system it's not an option to wait until the sync completes, so this bug needs to be fixed. It's very annoying. BTW I tried the 2.6.37rc1 from kernel.org, and I had the same problem. -- dpkg in uninterruptible sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606341 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
