Title:
  dpkg in uninterruptible sleep

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dpkg

  dpkg got in a state of uninterruptible sleep when I tried to install
  `pv`. It is unkillable by any means I tried to (what is characteristic
  of processes in a state of uninterruptible sleep).

  output from `ps aux` (shortened):

  USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
  root      8891  0.0  1.6 111880 98576 pts/4    Ds+  17:16   0:01 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 21 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/pv_1.1.4-1_amd64.deb
