Public bug reported:
It's really simple. When I updated from 6.06 to 6.10 (!) the setup
seemed to just freeze while it worked on wvdial. I've seen a bug similar
to this, but my problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with auto-
detection (I think). It simply freezes.
I hope this hasn't done anything terrible to the upgrade, I understood
that it shouldn't be interrupted. After manually restarting my machine.
I removed wvdial and its dependent ubuntu-desktop and reinstalled wvdial
using apt-get, after freezing on "Setting up wvdial (1.56-1ubuntu1) ..."
I terminated with ctrl-c and got the rest of what you see.
