Is it not hanging during Shepherd service upgrade?  (I think you
mentioned that elsewhere.)

If that is the case, (1) that is not preventing upgrade from happening
since that’s the very last step (it just means you’ll have to reboot),
and (2) it’s a shepherd-related bug for which perhaps there are clues in
/var/log/messages?

HTH!
