Bug Description
Binary package hint: dpkg
dpkg got in a state of uninterruptible sleep when I tried to install `pv`. It is unkillable by any means I tried to (what is characteristic of processes in a state of uninterruptible sleep).
output from `ps aux` (shortened):
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 8891 0.0 1.6 111880 98576 pts/4 Ds+ 17:16 0:01 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 21 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/

In my case the last message in console was "Unpacking some-package- name-was- here ..."
P.S. I can't restart my machine approximatelly next 5 hours (I have my reasons) and can't kill this uninterruptible process to find a work-around. Quite unpleasant :-/
