[Qemu-devel] [Bug 532733] Re: apt/dpkg in qemu-system-arm hangs if a big task is installed

[Dr. The Fugitive]

running this on a real arm board, snapdragon htc phone
this is a chroot apt-get install ubuntu-netbook. here is the results of my 
'kill -SIGINT' for hanging mono processess, this does not appear to be an issue 
related to kvm, since this has been done outside the virtual machine:

Title:
  apt/dpkg in qemu-system-arm hangs if a big task is installed

Status in QEMU:
  Invalid
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “qemu-kvm” source package in Lucid:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

running rootstock and installing ubuntu-netbook^ makes the VM hang in 
"unpacking iso-codes" this is reproducable every time in rootstock as well as 
in a standard qemu-system-arm vm that contains a minimal ubuntu with running 
apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
