Here is what caused the error:

Setting up wide-dhcpv6-client (20070507-5) ...
 * Starting WIDE DHCPv6 client dhcp6c
 * Starting WIDE DHCPv6 client dhcp6c [ OK ]
dpkg: error processing wide-dhcpv6-client (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)

Did you press ctrl-c during the upgrade?

[Tanath (tanath)]

After leaving it for quite some time (maybe an hour?), yes.

Thanks for this additional information.

This is a bug in the wide-dhcpv6 package then, that it hangs on upgrade.

Bug fixed in wide-dhcpv6 20080615-2. This was due to debconf not being properly stopped in the postinst script. Thank you for your bug report. Feel free to report any other issue you may encounter.

Cheers,

Ok... Real fix is in wide-dhcpv6 20080615-4 in unstable.

wide-dhcpv6 has been synced from Debian unstable, fixing this bug. Changes:

wide-dhcpv6 (20080615-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/102_libc6-2.9-fixes.diff: fix build failures caused by
    headers modifications in the latest libc6 (Closes: #518879).
  * Removed the warning about configuring the client once the install has
    finished since it is not displayed anymore.

wide-dhcpv6 (20080615-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/101_close-fds.diff: make sure dhcp6c does not close already
    opened sockets (Closes: #513375).
  * Added Spanish debconf templates translation, thanks to Francisco Javier
    Cuadrado (Closes: #511920).

wide-dhcpv6 (20080615-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches: added 200_close-fds.diff so wide-dhcpv6 binaries close
    inherited file descriptors, from debconf, for instance (Closes: #512397).
    Thanks to Colin Watson for noticing and providing a fix.
  * debian/wide-dhcpv6-client.config: don't show Debconf note saying that one
    should configure dhcp6c manually right after its installation. This should
    not be needed anymore thanks to profiles/default configuration.
  * debian/watch: use qa.debian.org SourceForge redirector.

wide-dhcpv6 (20080615-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/200_dhcp6c-profiles.diff: fix a segfault introduced by this
    patch in the case dhcp6c is not given any profile on the command line and
    the interface being handled does not have any configuration statement in
    dhcp6c.conf.
