I can confirm this under Ubuntu 18.04 and 0.6.7-1. There seems to be sporadic freezes on startup, and a reproducible one on shutdown (eventually Variety has to be force killed by a watchdog thread)
This seems to have been fixed in 0.6.8 and later by removing all the vrty.org-related code, so I'm suspecting that the issue lies in that (is some thread blocking on failure?). I have *not* been able to isolate the freeze reason though, and the 0.6.8 "fix" removing a large portion of code is probably too invasive to backport to a stable release[1][2].
