May be a dup of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=185010 which suggests doing echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness I tried that after half an hour, and after another five minutes, install got past that step, so perhaps it helped. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #185010 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=185010 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377242 Title: localedef ridiculously slow on low-memory machines To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/377242/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
