Hi

When installing banshee, apt-get got hung when installing libboo2.0-cil:
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme ...
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Setting up libboo2.0-cil (0.8.2.2960+dfsg-1) ...

Stacktrace:

Debug info from gdb:

Nothing else was printed and it just got stuck there.

Bye

After kill -9 on the gdb process, apt-get resumed; it passed on second try:
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

as you can see in the attached log it works fine here (install is from beta on a babbage 2.5 and been regulary updated)

For the sake of completeness, I also tried this on dove, package version is the same as in the original report.
Setting up libboo2.0-cil (0.8.2.2960+dfsg-1) ...
* Installing 7 assemblies from libboo2.0-cil into Mono

I'm thinking this was an odd fluke of some kind. We'll reopen or open a new bug if it ever resurfaces, but nobody seems to be able to reproduce this for now. Thanks!
