They hang here forever, until they time out.

This is causing us serious throughput problems currently.

I'm going to upload pkg-kde-tools to drop this lintian run. If you want to re-enable it, please make sure you check that this problem is fixed - the hang is reproducible using autopkgtest-virt-qemu locally.

The lintian in groovy proposed (2.86) reverts the change that caused this hang. Once that is in release we can re-enable the lintian checking.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package pkg-kde-tools - 0.15.32ubuntu3

---------------
pkg-kde-tools (0.15.32ubuntu3) groovy; urgency=medium

  * Re-enable lintian checks (LP: #1889551)
