I think I just had this problem while running Precise as guest in Virtualbox (4.1.18 on a Precise host). Installation of package linux-header-generic would always hang on:

Unpacking replacement linux-headers-3.2.0-27 ...

while being unable to use Ctrl-C, killall -9 dpkg would kill the process though.

astrostls suggestion to use:

echo "force-unsafe-io" > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/force-unsafe-io

seems to have fixed the issue at least for the moment, I could install linux-header-generic without problems afterwards.
