update-manager hangs trying to install downloaded packages

[Simplehuman]

update-manager hangs trying to install downloaded packages. I can't install or uninstall anything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I found the reason why it hangs... When installing new updated packages with update-manager a configuration of keyboard-configuration package comes out in a terminal asking questions.

Workaround is simple:

sudo apt-get upgrade

from the terminal and setting up the keyboard-configuration.

But it is still an issue, especially for the average user.
