Comment 31 for bug 134858

I was using xterm when I got the above results.

However, just a few minutes ago, I ran another upgrade (apt-get dist-upgrade) on the linux console, without any X running. And I experienced the problem once again. It occured on the final package being installed in this batch (xserver-xorg-video-intel), during the install phase, prior to the conf phase. I had to kill apt-get and run it again, and the upgrade completed. During the upgrade, and just a package or two prior to the last one, I hit a key on the console to see if it was hung up, and it echoed properly. This latest batch included an update to python-apt, but I don't know if that's relevant.
