Public bug reported:
I've noticed this happens sometimes, and cannot really pinpoint what
causes it, but I just tried it in a VirtualBox VM (I have a snapshot
before the process so I can repeat it and test stuff if needed).
I just did a fresh oneiric install, and installed apper. I opened apper, and
told it to install all the updates.
It started installing, and then it stopped at 95% while installing
"plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-dbus". No error is presented, it just stays
there (the gui itself keeps animating and moving, as if the installation was
still going).
If I watch the process list, I see there is a dpkg listed as defunct.
I tried installing only half of the updates (+ dependencies), and then
the other half and it works. Upgrading with apt-get/aptitude works, muon
also works, and upgrading just plasma-widget-kimpanel-* also works.
It seems to me this is not related to that package; I have seen
kpackagekit (now apper) hang link this on updates on natty, but could
never really reproduce it or find a pattern.
** Affects: apper (Ubuntu)
