I try a apt-get install something and apt get freeze on "Writing extended Status Information". My Grml 1.1 reinstall after this, but the error looks the same as before. The CPU runs in the sky. With aptitude install get the same fault. What is happened! I have no idea. forget: first i do ap-get update that runs ok. apt-get install longrun:
~~The following NEW packages will be installed: longrun 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1511 not upgraded. Need to get 20.5kB of archives. After unpacking 160kB will be used. Writing extended state information... Done Get:1 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main longrun 0.9-20 [20.5kB] Fetched 20.5kB in 0s (22.9kB/s)
What's in the process list when running aptitude/apt-get? (ps auxwwww) Do you use etckeeper? Does removing etckeeper help? (dpkg --purge etckeeper) What's inside /tmp/log if you execute "strace -f -eopen -o /tmp/log apt-get install longrun"?
