Setting -x did not produce any useful result; stdout shows the usual: I: Unpacking debconf... I: Unpacking debianutils... I: Unpacking libdevmapper1.02.1... I: Unpacking diff... W: Failure while unpacking required packages. This will be attempted up to five times. ...meanwhile, tailing the log shows a neverending series of these: + echo '' + : + echo '' + : + echo '' + : + echo '' + : + echo '' + : + echo '' ...which I presume to be debconf's way of "pressing Enter" into dpkg? Not very useful tracing info, anyhow. I suppose this leaves tracking this with strace as a last resort. However, I cannot remember if strace is actually capable of tracking shell scripts?
