Public bug reported:
I ran
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install texlive-fonts-extra
the last lines in /var/log/apt/term.log were
Selecting previously unselected package texlive-fonts-extra.
Preparing to unpack .../52-texlive-fonts-extra_2017.20180305-2_all.deb ...
Unpacking texlive-fonts-extra (2017.20180305-2) ...
The terminal sat at this line, stuck at install 51% for almost an hour.
In another terminal I could see from "df" that a disk size was
increasing, although I didn't know how to find where the install was
putting the files. Finally, I just left it run all night.
The next morning (16 hours later) the terminal was still at 51%.
Nothing had changed. It had hung.
I opened another terminal window and saw some processes (I think the apt
install) in ps -aux, and I tried kill -9 on all of them, but one of them
(maybe the apt install) would not die. This is on WSL, Ubuntu on
Windows, Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS. I don't think the original terminal window
was responsive at this point - I couldn't close it. So I shutdown
Windows, from the regular Windows shutdown menu, and the machine
stopped. After a half a minute I rebooted.
Then I did
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
and it said something like it was going to upgrade two things. I was
wondering if it would be corrupted or show packages that needed to be
cleaned up or purged, but weirdly, it seemed like it cleaned itself up
and recovered on its own. Then there were a lot of lines that seemed to
be a continuation of the texlive-fonts-extra install, like
Setting up libjs-jquery (3.2.1-1) ...
Setting up texlive-latex-recommended (2017.20180305-1) ...
Setting up texlive-fonts-extra (2017.20180305-2) ...
Setting up fonts-gfs-neohellenic (1.1-6) ...
...

Log ended
Then I ran pdflatex, because this whole thing started when it couldn't
find an .sty file, and now it works. Strange. It shouldn't be this
time-consuming. I'm not sure what happened.
