Comment 36 for bug 134858

Unfortunately I've experienced the hang using apt 0.7.6ubuntu14.

When the update with apt 0.7.6ubuntu14 came out, there were also some openoffice.org files that wanted to update. I intentionally installed apt and apt-utils 0.7.6ubuntu14 first. Then did apt-get update to pick up the openoffice.org files, and during that update, the apt-get tool hung twice. the first time was on:

    Preparing to replace openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu4 (using .../openoffice.org-core_1%3a2.3.0-1ubuntu5_i386.deb) ...
    Unpacking replacement openoffice.org-core ...

I don't recall where it hung the second time, apparently I only recorded the first one.

Was that before or after I fixed my locale problem? I don't know. What happened: when I ran k3b, it complained about a locale problem. I had LANG="en_US.UTF-8" set from /etc/environment, but I had LC_ALL="POSIX" set in my .bashrc. Now I have changed my .bashrc to set only LC_COLLATE="POSIX" and LC_TIME="POSIX", and k3b works again.

There's nothing to upgrade at the moment, but I will post my next experience, positive or negative.
