Ahh, some more info on this possible bug. I tried to replicate it on another machine with a lot more memory than the one I used when I submitted the bug report in the first place.
I'm not at all sure what is going on behind the installer script for this package but it seems to require a large amount of RAM...in excess of 128MB. The first machine I tried to install on had only 48MB RAM + 128MB swap. What happened was that the anthy install filled up RAM and also filled up the swap which is what caused the 'problem' On the second try, with a machine 256MB RAM +256MB swap I could watch with 'top' the RAM filling up as anthy got installed, but I didn't get the hang/race/leak that I first thought was going on. If the apparently large RAM requirement to install anthy is a known quantity and quite ok then please close this bug report. Xubuntu maintainers, who install anthy as a dependency of xubuntu- desktop may be interested in the RAM requirements of this package however.
