kexec-tool (1:2.0.1-1ubuntu1) hang when configuring

[woju]

Today (February 8, 2010) kexec-tool was update to (1:2.0.1-1ubuntu1).
When apt-get make post-instalation configuration, they hang.

I verify what report strace:

I can confirm this.
/bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/kexec-tools.postinst configure 20090000-2.0.0ubuntu12
hangs at waitpid.

As a temporary workaround,
  sudo chmod -x /usr/sbin/update-grub
apt-get/dpkg will the suceed, revert then back
 sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/update-grub
you may the run
 sudo /usr/sbin/update-grub
