Comment 44 for bug 134858

@Michael: iteration 592 and still going strong :) It looks like your ppa2 version had the magic that cured the problem (kcontrol, at least). However, monitoring the dpkg process status with a `watch -n .3 "ps aux | grep dpkg | grep -v grep"`, briefly shows a defunct dpkg process at the end of the apt operation. This doesn't remain as it did prior to ppa2, so perhaps it's nothing to worry about. Regardless, thanks for the fix, and I'll report back if the issue crops up with a different set of inputs.

Thanks,
