debootstrap package

debootstrap 1.0.39ubuntu0.2 installation hangs at "Unpacking replacement debootstrap ..." phase of dpkg

Asked by Johnny Robertson

The "Unpacking replacement debootstrap ..." phase of dpkg --auto-deconfigure is hanging, no CPU or I/O currently being used:

/usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 47 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/debootstrap_1.0.39ubuntu0.2_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_6.5ubuntu6.5_i386.deb

No lack of disk-space:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/ubuntu-root 455G 25G 408G 6% /
udev 2.0G 4.0K 2.0G 1% /dev

cgroup 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 248M 83M 153M 36% /boot

Running 3.2.0-36-generic-pae on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.

Any ideas?

If you reboot, does it help

No, rebooting does not help. And dpkg will not uninstall debootstrap either.
