Prepare: * create active lvm snapshot Test case: $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall memtest86+ <hang> Recover from the hang with: $ sudo pkill -f 'frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/memtest86\+.postinst' $ sudo killall grub-mount $ sudo umount /var/lib/os-prober/mount (don't kill grub-mount nor umount if you want the next run to "succeed", well not run) Actual problem: update-grub / os-prober leave stray grub-mount behing. workarounds applied in os-prober 1.57 doesn't actually help here. upgrading to quantal's grub2 package resolves the hangs. A minimal backport from grub has not been identified yet.
