Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Trying to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04
Install got hung while doing "Generating locales..." while trying to install language-pack-en base.
The process tree looked like this:
/usr/sbin/
localedef --no-archive --magic=20051014 -i en_AU
gzip
localdef process was taking a lot of CPU but seemed hung. I couldn't kill the process even with signal -9
gzip process was a zombie process
I finally had to kill the locale-gen script to get the install to continue. But I got the same issue further downstream as the update manager was trying to "generate locales" again
