Bug Description

Sometimes, an installation performed by Muon freezes.

Qaptworker does not crash. Muon does not crash. dpkg simply stops running. The only solution I have found for this is to manually kill qaptworker and muon and run dpkg --configure -a myself.

I have attached an excerpt of history.log from in installation where this problem occurs.

I have yet to find a specific package which will cause this problem consistently.

I have filed this bug under qapt rather than muon because I believe the issue is with qaptworker.
