just in the off chance off chance that someone is watching their email today and has suggestions for additional diagnostics info, i will leave my system hung for a few hours before i finish the upgrade. let me know if you have any requests.
based on @lkalev's original bug report, and also on http://askubuntu.com/questions/453831/help-online-upgrade- from-12-04-to-14-04-stuck which appears to be describing the same problem, it seems that the workaround is to just kill the "perl frontend" process and the installation process should restart itself and complete successfully. i'll try this later today. this might be a bug in the frontend upgrade script rather than man-db. it seems that dpkg properly failed the man-db upgrade, but the frontend program got hung after dpkg failed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365939 Title: package man-db 2.6.7.1-1 trigger froze during dist upgrade from 12.04.
