Possible hint: I also got this stuck dpkg process when running "apt-get install" inside of "screen". Could not kill it with kill -9. It also stuck on the unpacking step.
(I don't think it matters but I was installing the package "m4".) After rebooting, I ran the same install without "screen" and it worked. -- INFO: task dpkg:23317 blocked for more than 120 seconds. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624877 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
