Comment 5 for bug 884026

Daniel, thank you for your questions. From a cursory look, I am not sure that either of the two problems in launchpad is what I see. But of course it's hard to completely rule this out. The debbug sounds more similar to what I have but it's still not completely the same.

What I do is run "sudo aptitude" from the command line. Press U to update the package list and then install the updated packages with G. When the installation is finished I press Q to exit aptitude which goes through some calculations from which it then never returns. Unlike the report in the Debian BTS, the last aptitude "tab/window" is closed, but the program then does not return to the command line.

This is not 100% reproducible but has happened frequently enough to be slightly annoying.
