Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evms

On a laptop, an upgrade from a vanilla LTS installation to 6.10 (via
update-manager -c) hangs, apparently during upgrade/install of evms.
Below are some relevant lines from ps.  I don't believe I've done
anything unusual on this box that would affect the kernel/etc, aside
from installing the updates that are suggested via that little asterisk
icon.

I "solved" this problem by killing the thermal process.  The update
proceeded, then hung again during the install/upgrade of powernowd and
another package.  I think these are probably caused by the first failure
with evms/thermal.

My laptop is a Pavilion N5240, which is fairly old (circa 1999?), if
that matters.

I'll have to submit this before the upgrade finishes, as I'm on the box
being upgraded, so I'm not sure how this'll turn out.
