Comment 15 for bug 310898

I have a Maverick micro instance (ami-7c758c15) and when I tried to install ec2-api-tools, I encountered this bug. I gave a Ctrl+C signal and quit because it hung for too long. Now when I try to install any other packages it asks me to run 'dpkg --configure -a'.

When I do that, it gets stuck again. None of the above mentioned solutions seem to work for me. Any ideas ?
